You mean webcomponents? I'll study this. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'd vote for web components over React, as some of us use Vue or Angular...

I still don’t understand why Angular hasn’t died out. It’s very hard to understand and the tutorials can’t simplify that because it’s just inherently very complex. It feels highly over engineered like classical Java. Instead of allowing you to opt into more complex features as needed like a good framework should do, it forces you to learn its steel curve up front!

I really enjoyed Angular 1.x, was not happy with the 2.0 version (other then they fixed some critical performance issues with scaling websites). It was perfect for making simple single page applications for internal use at an an eCommerce company. POS, Order Processing, RMA processing, Research, competition and price controls, inventory & warehouse management, etc. I use ReactJS for large applications these days.

I think it's due to its enterprise users and customer bases, and never underestimate the power of legacy code base inertia that often keep these types of things going.

Can you share anything about how many sales you've made? I'm curious how willing developers are to pay for tools like this. I'm working on selling a Chrome extension as well so I'd be super interested in learning more.

Hey seanwilson, I actually made a lot more sales than I expected. $500 Revenue so far. 167 sales :) I'm also planning to write an article, I'll update stats on twitter (@gvrizzo)

This looks super useful! Is it also able to grab media queries and other styles that may not be applied at the current time (like style based on a parent class that gets added later to trigger an animation)?

Thanks! It grabs the current media query only :)

I bought it! I looked into trying to do this myself and got stuck. Also interested to hear how the sales go, I think charging a little money for it is a great idea.

Thanks andre! :) The sales went pretty well! I'll share some stats on my twitter @gvrizzo tomorrow. Also already shared some numbers on a reply here.
