The best testing strategies for frontends
In our experience, the best testing strategy for modern frontends is a combination of E2E testing (using Playwright+NextJS), and unit testing. Visual regression testing is not worth the effort in our opinion, especially with the advent of better CSS tooling like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract.

Is there really anything better than Css Modules?
For building component libraries I’ve been a big fan of vanilla extract. Apparently it’s from the same people who made css modules

An Overview of 25+ UI Component Libraries in 2023
KumaUI : Another relatively new contender, Kuma uses zero runtime CSS-in-JS to create headless UI components which allows a lot of flexibility. It was heavily inspired by other zero runtime CSS-in-JS solutions such as PandaCSS, Vanilla Extract, and Linaria, as well as by Styled System, ChakraUI, and Native Base. ### Vue

Creating a Component Library Fast🚀(using Vite's library mode)
The components are styled with CSS modules. When building the library, these styles will get transformed to normal CSS style sheets. This means that the consuming application will not even be required to support CSS modules. (In the future I want to extend this tutorial to use vanilla-extract instead.)

Tailwind CSS and the death of web craftsmanship
I do a lot of UI work and have never understood the appeal of Tailwind. It’s like relearning a new language. Tailwind was released in 2017. Maybe the CSS landscape wasn’t as good back then? Modern CSS is pretty awesome.
I’ve enjoyed using Vanilla Extract https://vanilla-extract.style/. It’s like css-in-js with none of the downsides as everything gets compiled to css.

PSA: Rust web frontend with Tailwind is easy!
Nah, I used enough Tailwind to know it becomes a spaghetti mess. I stick with CSS now, and in React I use https://vanilla-extract.style, compile time CSS in TypeScript.

What's the best option these days for CSS in JS?
Vanilla Extract is my current choice for the next greenfield project. I would also recommend checking out how and why this team integrated it with Tailwind.

Feeling lost on grokking large libraries
I'm not trying to call a particular org or library out, because I think the ones I've been digging through (and prompted me to write this) are very high quality. It's vanilla-extract (a build-time CSS-in-JS library) and Braid Design System (built on vanilla-extract).

Coming here from svelteland... is there a way to put CSS module inside JS?
Apart from what has been suggested, there is also https://vanilla-extract.style/.

Simulate global state tradeoffs in React concurrent mode
If you aren't sure why state tearing was a hot topic a few years ago, when React's concurrent mode was first discussed, this github discussion should help: https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions/69.
Tanner Linsley had a great post on twitter that suggested that concurrent rendering was fundamentally at odds with fine-grained reactivity, so to better understand what he was talking about I decided to write this demo.

ELI5, why is ReactDOM.createRoot an improvement over ReactDOM.render?
From the React WG:
- I know my component is re-rendering because a console.log I put in the component is logging in the console. However when I use the inspector to see why it re-rendered, its saying that it didnt re-render. How is this possible?
- Timeout in event handler
