    Zero-runtime CSS in JS library

  • I like Linaria [0] because your IDE typechecks your styles and gives you autocomplete/intellisense when typing styles. With Tailwind you have to look everything up in docs because it's all strings, not importable constants. Leads to a lot of bugs from typos that aren't a thing with type checked styles.

    ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒผ โ€ƒThe most popular, free and open-source Tailwind CSS component library

  • Next up, improve usability and consistency with tailwind by making component classes via things like https://daisyui.com/.

    Then you realize you can just use the classes with css and forgo the tailwind Middleware.

    Then we'll be back where we started.
