    I think Tachyons struck the balance to be honest. Tailwind's "functions" and combinations seem to allow a higher level of complexity where it becomes difficult to quickly inspect a…

    This is a cool project! One small suggestion: the native blue links for the author name, "thread", and "reply" make the content hard to focus on as the UI is quite intrusive. HN so…
