Hello! Sorry for the delay, I thought the thread was indeed dead. Hehe. Maybe you are right about clamp(), but I still think it's only available through “obscure” means if I may sa…

Some real issues with Tailwind I don't see mentioned as often is they should revolve around the lack of some modern and efficient CSS features and techniques and the inefficient, o…

It comes from socially produced wealth and ressources, like all public services?

Great! 1. some simple selectors can be used in specific contexts (like `html` for type inheritance, for instance). `flex-module` is a component name (albeit a very generic one only…

1. Which part of the cascade do you struggle with? Because it can make your code really simple and efficient! 2. If you link your CSS inside your component you have a direct access…

1. The stylelint config will flag any selector not scoped (be it a class or an attribute) to the filename. This way you'll be notified if any selector could be misapplied essential…

1. I don't think I understand why you think flex & grid are barely unusable... without a dozen classes..? Maybe an example would clarify this perception for me. 2. You barely need …

Great questions/problems! 1. I address the problem of relevance by inserting the CSS right into the component with a link tag. If the component is not used, the CSS isn't either. A…

I invite (for fun and learning!) anyone here still thinking native CSS provides no efficient solution to the problems Tailwind may have solved 5 years ago to challenge me: Bring up…

The clamp() CSS function (and auto-adapting grids) can reduce media query usage to a really loooow minimum. Nowadays I use media queries only for mobile nav and maybe layout grid a…

I started linking component stylesheets directly in the component HTML, de facto eliminating unused CSS from the output. HTTP3 provides performance gains we can benefit from by ser…

Yes it's still and always evolving and we need less and less of the heavy JS frameworks to produce interfaces. HTMX is way lighter than React, for instance. And from what I know, i…

Why would you need a custom selectbox in the example you provided? Because you could use the menu element with the popup API and AJAX if I understand your example correctly. On a s…

CSS was not meant to be used by programmers but by designers... so yeah there's a disconnect there. But that does not mean programmers cannot use it the way it was intended to inst…

My pleasure!

For the curious, here is a set of "simple" rules for CSS authoring that, coupled with linting (through Stylelint, for instance) can address a lot (most?) of the issues raised in th…

You may have to group elements, yes. But generally speaking, they already are grouped in some logical sense. And you can do a lot now with grid, without having to wrap child elemen…

Quite true, unfortunately. But I think there are benefits that can be "feeled" almost instantly. I think problem is one of focus. Lots of team leads don't focus on these solutions …

You can use structural HTML and CSS inside components as their content is already structured and should not change on whim. Same for the first "master" layout layer. Applying style…

Some thoughts on reasons above: With recent display roles (like grid, flex, contents, etc.) the HTML needed exclusively for layout problems is really minimized if not completely no…

Aren't there inherent advantages to correct and semantic code, advantages like performance, simplicity, understandability, expressivity, that could/should benefit the business?

I'm curious, why would you say "applications don't map too well onto HTML"?

Nice! They're great for establishing a strict scope for rulesets.

I see, yes. I meant "efficient" in it's pure economic definition: Producing effectively with a minimum of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort. Is there a better term you're think…

I'm working on refactoring some sites in ECSS right now. I can report back when done if you care enough! As of now, you can look into the ecss.info CSS on github if you want a tast…
