How to setup a simple static website using Svelte (with login)
Usually, one of the first things I do on creating a new web app is to throw a UI library in to help style components. There are several UI libraries that can be used by Svelte, but in this case I went with daisyUI because it's a fairly popular UI library which includes tailwind. To install daisyUI, you first need to install tailwind. There's a few different ways to do this (such as this guide), but the easiest way I've found is the following command, which also adds PostCSS and AutoPrefixer:

Vanilla+PostCSS as an Alternative to SCSS
Vanilla CSS has taken a similar path with ambitious working drafts, better browser support, and PostCSS to fill the gap for user agents lagging behind. So why is Sass/SCSS still so popular? Maybe we go so used to it that we might have forgotten what problems it was meant to solve in the first place.

Is it possible to style a website in JS only and if it is, is it recommended? Are there some downsides?
It is possible. At its most simple, you could just modify the style property on every element. That's not generally considered best practice, but there are a number of "CSS-in-JS" libraries which streamline the process. The typically generate dynamic CSS classes and apply them to your elements. A big one is JSS.

Gatsby JS — How to solve FOUC when using tss-react and Material UI v5
Material UI v5 brought some amazing updates, but switching from JSS to Emotion had an arguably nasty side-effect: it was no longer as straightforward to group your component styles in classes. Fortunately, a fantastic library emerged that allowed developers to not only reduce the extreme pain from migrating all their classes from v4's makeStyles to emotion, but to also to continue to writing classes in practically the same syntax, with wonderful TS type-safety. This library was tss-react, and it was one of my favorite open source discoveries of 2021.
