  • StyleX – Meta's Styling Library
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Dec 2023
    Nice! We copied StyleX's "type-safe extensions" in Truss [1] so things like `` are allowed (setting margin is fine) while disallowing `` (anything "not margin") that would mess up the components internal impl details with a compile error.

    That said, we don't actually use the feature that much, vs. higher-level logical props like ``.

    I know we're supposed to use build-time CSS-in-JS these days, but afaiu they don't support the rare-but-handy "just spread together ~4-5 different object literals from ~random different conditionals + props", i.e. intermixing styles some inside the component + outside the component, which emotion handles really well.

    Basically this [2]. StyleX says it does "cross-file styles"...but can it support that? I kinda assume not, but I'm not sure.

  • What working with Tailwind CSS every day for 2 years looks like
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Nov 2022
    Fwiw to the avoid 80%-in-TW / 20%-in-SCSS-or-something-else dichotomy/complexity, we built Truss which brings TW (Tachyons) style abbreviations to the existing "something else" tool chain (Emotion in our case).

    So then everything goes through a single system.

    > tailwind's and SCSS's VS code integration is pretty amazing

    We get that too, by being just vanilla TypeScript, no editor-specific integration necessary. :-D

    (I've linked to Truss in another response, so will stop now. :-))

    Don't want to take away from Tailwind, it's great.

    That said, self-promotion disclaimer but if you like inline/utility CSS, and also like TypeScript/React/Emotion, we've got a "Tailwinds-ish" CSS-in-JS library that we've enjoyed so far:
