    > Limited set of predefined values to us...

    With the ability to predefine css constants I guess it's now possible to use the style prop directly and not have to use raw hex colors and pixel values (eg. there are css libraries with these https://open-props.style).

    ZingGrid is built with modern native web components for performance and resiliency, but as a side effect of that a lot of the components exist inside Shadow DOMs. Still wanting to allow users to style any part they desire, hundreds of CSS Variables were created to pierce these shadows. Below we show how they can be used in conjunction Open Props for added flexibility.

  • Learn CSS Layout the Pedantic Way
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Feb 2024
    There's still some boilerplate, but I'm a big fan of Open Props[0] because it takes a hybrid approach. CSS isn't necessarily reinventing the wheel, but allowing for easier / more powerful approaches to difficult layouts or things that would otherwise require JS. Bootstrap is fine but troubleshooting advanced layout issues involves a lot of inspecting elements to see what styles are actually being applied (at least in my experience, YMMV) so I'd personally always bet on CSS.

  • Why Tailwind Isn't for Me
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jan 2024
    I don't quite get the hate for having CSS in another file. Do you also put all your react stuff in one single file ? That same logic and argument can be applied against all modularization.

    And really 20-50 tailwind classes in a single element is VERY hard to read and keep in mind. No - it does not make things clear or understandable. One tends to need to re-read and scan over from the beginning and eyes glaze over. Esp if some elements only vary with a few classes missing. I guess it works for people with very high attention to detail and high amount of working memory. I only find it personally frustrating.

    Maybe tailwind css works for some bright people. I did try it for a couple of projects and only felt pain.

    However, the "atomic css" philosophy behind tailwind is great. I find framewroks like https://open-props.style/ far better to use.
