  3. css-in-js

    A thorough analysis of all the current CSS-in-JS solutions with SSR & TypeScript support for Next.js (by andreipfeiffer)

    Aside from the DevTools issue, it appears to be mostly a performance issue. Of course, there are CSS in JS, which overcomes these issues by extracting the CSS and making it zero runtime, but there are some tradeoffs. Here are two examples.

  4. pigment-css

    Pigment CSS is a zero-runtime CSS-in-JS library that extracts the colocated styles to their own CSS files at build time.

  5. freestyler

    5th generation CSS-in-JS library

    Dynamic styling restrictions: The combination of build issues and the use of CSS Variables forces us to support only some representations, like Styling based on props in Pigment CSS, or learn to do things differently, like Coming from Emotion or styled-components. Dynamicity is also one of the main metrics that can be used to distinguish between CSS in JS.

  6. Firefox-UI-Fix

    🦊 I respect proton UI and aim to improve it.

    As a representative example, see the definition and compilation of the tab bar layout in my Firefox theme. Despite only considering the OS and user options, a file of about 360 lines produces a compilation result reaching approximately 1400 lines.
