Material UI v5 brought some amazing updates, but switching from JSS to Emotion had an arguably nasty side-effect: it was no longer as straightforward to group your component styles in classes. Fortunately, a fantastic library emerged that allowed developers to not only reduce the extreme pain from migrating all their classes from v4's makeStyles to emotion, but to also to continue to writing classes in practically the same syntax, with wonderful TS type-safety. This library was tss-react, and it was one of my favorite open source discoveries of 2021.

Unfortunately, however, tss-react and material-ui don't exactly work "out of the box" when it comes to Gatsby JS. Gatsby is a fantastic framework for generating static websites with React code. Static websites are great because they load fast, can be largely cached in a visitor's browser and have great Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

The trouble I was having was that my production website was displaying what is known as a "flash of unseen content", or FOUC. Material UI users have known about this problem for a long time — in fact, there even exists a popular plugin for solving this exact issue.
