twin VS twin.macro

Twin - a Textmode WINdow environment, by Massimiliano Ghilardi https://github.com/cosmos72/twin

There is a twin project that is kind of neat, providing the highest fidelity interface possible (text mode, vnc, X gui) but doesn't have terminal multiplexing built in, or a browser interface.

Is it necessary to be in tmux? twin might be an easier solution: https://github.com/cosmos72/twin https://opensource.com/article/20/1/multiple-consoles-twin

Kind of related, Textmode Window Environment is interesting.

Nice! I don't know why, but this reminded me of the port(?) of the MSDOS user interface to UNIX-like systems.

Kind of like TWIN? https://github.com/cosmos72/twin

https://github.com/cosmos72/twin/ Seems its still getting some updates.

If you've never used Twin then you don't know what youre missing!

A similar concept is available as TWIN: the Textmode WINdowing environment. This is mentioned at the bottom of the "See Also" list at TFA.

Twin Macro Github Repo. This is a great resource to help you pick up Twin’s syntax, learn more about the package, and keep up to date with the latest releases.

Personally I like twin.macro the most. It’s similar to the above but based on Tailwind.

twin.macro is a library that allows you to use these styles in your JavaScript code. This library works exactly like styled-components.

One of the more promising alternatives is twin.macro - a Babel macro that processes Tailwind classes to generate JS objects understandable by various CSS-in-JS libraries. The developer experience (DX) of using it is amazing as you not only get all of Tailwind’s features without much change to your code, but you also get much more flexibility - all that on top of the traditional benefits of CSS-in-JS. Here’s an example code:

twin.macro

If you use Tailwind with React a lot, and are wanting support for Styled Components, give Twin Macro a look. They're close to finishing support for TW v3 in their Releases section :)

The blocker for us using it is our use of an excellent library called twin.macro which is built against babel's transpilation APIs to parse tailwindcss directives at compile time so that they may be used with css-in-js libraries. This efficiently bundles your css so that you only ship the precise css you use. The problem is, it's all quite slow.
