splitter VS Tailwind CSS

We've been building devtools for years now. We're really passionate about the field. The most recent thing we built is https://usedevbook.com. The goal was to build a simple framework/UI for companies to demo their APIs. Something like https://gradio.app but for API companies. It's been used for example by Prisma - we helped them build their playground with it - https://playground.prisma.io/

Our new project - e2b - is using some of the technology we built for Devbook in the past. Specifically the secure sandbox environments where the AI agents run are our custom Firecracker VMs that we run on Nomad.

You can follow my co-founder, me, and the project on Twitter:

And we have a community Discord server - https://discord.gg/U7KEcGErtQ

Hey, thanks! Not the whole website but parts of it like our SDK for creating VMs on demand and some UI components are open sourced.

we've built this interactive playground of Prisma examples as a showcase of developer hubs made with Devbook. The goal of Devbook si to allow devtools projects and companies to showcase their tool in an interactive without any hassle for the devs. Everything is prepared and configured for you.

Every code snippet is runnable and editable. You get your own database thanks to CockroachDB. The code runs in a microVM (Firecracker) that's just for you. You also have an access to the terminal and even Prisma Studio. Go ahead and play with it!

I would love to hear your feedback and I'm happy to hang out and answer any questions!

This is really really exciting! I hope it enables more product built on top of full VMs with fast UX/DX.

I just wish I knew about this earlier because from what I read, I think we at Devbook [1] built pretty similar service for our product. We are using Docker to "describe" the VM's environment, our booting times are in the similar numbers, we are using Nomad for orchestration, and we are also using Firecracker :). We basically built are own serverless platform. I need to compare our current pricing to Fly's.

I found DevBook which is quite useful. It doesn't solve the searching issue but it cuts down on the results you get back. Not sure if it'd be useful for you or anyone scouring the comments

Not trying to undermine op here but I've recently been using a tool called Devbooks and it's really cool. It's not a vscode extension though. It lets you search stack overflow and almost any language's/library's documentation without leaving your current window.

I recommend creating a new email account solely dedicated to your journey into coding. I also recommend getting comfortable with MDN Web Docs, Stack Overflow and this nifty software called Devbook will help. (I just hit alt+space and a search engine to stack overflow pops up).

You can use any frontend framework you want — react-based tooling, however, has a natural advantage as it models everything as a function of state, which can map 1:1 with the concept in Burr. In the demo app we use react, react-query, and tailwind, but we’ll be skipping over this largely (it is not central to the purpose of the post).

Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom designs.

First, you need to make sure that you have a working Tailwind CSS project…

Tailwind CSS

With better CSS approaches like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract (which we're heavily using) it's much easier to maintain the UI and make sure it doesn't change unexpectedly. No more conflicting CSS classes, much less CSS specificity issues and much less CSS code in general.

This app was built with Svelte Kit, Tailwind CSS, and many other technologies. For a full rundown, please visit the GitHub repository

Unlike Tailwind, which has over 77,000 stars on GitHub, Mojo CSS has about 200 stars on GitHub. But the Mojo CSS documentation is fairly good and you can find most of the information you’ll need there.

Another common interpretation of brutalism is aesthetic, reacting to overly complicated user interfaces by creating simpler, more direct ones. Tailwind CSS (https://tailwindcss.com), one of today's most popular CSS libraries, promotes this approach in its component examples. There's also a neat library I've seen recently called "Neobrutalism Components" for React that I like (https://neobrutalism-components.vercel.app), providing components with a similar look and feel to Gumroad. This might more accurately be called 'Neo-Brutalism,' as noted in the comments.

A more engineering-centric interpretation of Brutalism focuses on form, structure, and efficiency, drawing significantly from brutalist architecture principles. Apart from the user interface itself, most mobile, desktop, and web applications are extremely bloated and often perform worse than sites from 10 years ago did. While one HTML file might be "less brutalist" than the original HN site, it is substantially more brutalist than any HN mobile app in existence, and offers nearly identical functionality.

A broader interpretation of brutalism, which could be termed 'Meta-Brutalism,' is embodied in the overall experience on this site through UX flows. Yes, in the strictest sense, the original HN site is more Brutalist in many ways, but it only shows 30 articles at a time and does not function as a PWA. For this site, the experience of reading 10 stories is arguably less brutalist, but for quickly browsing through several pages and skimming articles (which is how I read HN) it is a lot faster, and in my opinion, more Brutalist.

My primary inspiration was addressing software and tool bloat in UIs rather than strictly adhering to every principle set forth by David Bryant Copeland. I don't find it convincing that this site "isn't brutalist" compared to really any other experience apart from the Main HN site, and I would argue the overall experience is more brutalist in its performance and scrolling behavior.

As a side note: I generally don't like Brutalist architecture that much although I believe it is unfairly maligned. I visited the Salk Institute once and enjoyed it though (https://www.archdaily.com/61288/ad-classics-salk-institute-l...).
