    "I’ve written a few thousand words on why traditional 'semantic class names' are the reason CSS is hard to maintain, but the truth is you’re never going to believe me until you actually try it. If you can suppress the urge to retch long enough to give it a chance, I really think you'll wonder how you ever worked with CSS any other way." —Adam Wathan, Tailwind CSS landing page

  • styled-jsx

    Full CSS support for JSX without compromises

    As far as libraries go, I'm a big fan of styled-jsx. It was created by Vercel, the company that also brought us Next.js, and it's one of the best CSS-in-JS libraries I've worked with to date. I find this remarkable, considering that I was, for the longest time, adamantly opposed to using CSS-in-JS. But styled-jsx is an absolute delight to work with.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
