What is it about everyone using Tailwind? It inevitably becomes a mess in every codebase I've used it in; it's like Perl, a write only language. I just use Vanilla Extract (with their Sprinkles API) and call it a day, it uses TypeScript as the preprocessor language and then compiles it to raw CSS, similar to SCSS but without writing SCSS. https://vanilla-extract.style

Using it wrong on every codebase that wasn't even made by me but instead by my employers? If it's happening that many times, the tool is to blame. More likely that the people who use it and like it (for now) have never have to handle large amounts of components and refactoring them. It's basically impossible. Trends come and go, who's to say that in a few years we decide, like jQuery, that hey, maybe this utility fir…

Then every conceivable tool is to blame, especially within computer science, they’re all definitely used wrong more often than not.

In the first example of vanilla extract, it uses exact px measurements which already demonstrates it’s not geared to solve one of the primary selling points of tailwind (using config as a constraint to reduce mental overhead when building things).
My startup team is working on a new project and elected Tailwind this week. Konsta looks like a great fit as we want to work well on mobile. Wondering if there are plans to add a grid with drag+drop? We're looking to emulate the iOS homescreen where you have a grid of Icons that can be dragged/dropped using https://shopify.github.io/draggable . Having an integrated solution would help us avoid haphazard glue code.
Also check https://daisyui.com/ Which looks great, rather than trying to look like material or ios
Although I'm not very familiar with Tailwind and its component library ecosystem, I found the DIY approach taken by https://github.com/shadcn/ui to be better suited to my needs. This approach offers greater customization and flexibility in designing UI components, which is where I find the most enjoyment in building UI. Of course, pre-built component libraries like OP can provide a quicker solution if resources are limited.
I originally thought it was something like DaisyUI but for React Native with NativeWind, but this seems quite different, and almost a little strange haha. I'm very impressed by the polish of the project but am curious about the main use case for a library like this. (I guess, in what situation would one want a webpage to feel like a system native app? Potentially this paves the way for PWAs?)
> in what situation would one want a webpage to feel like a system native app? When one has an app that can function as an SPA, wants to distribute outside of app stores but still give a native visual presentation. Currently working on such a side app myself right now. And that I can use this and continue implementing in Vue is a big plus for me. Konsta UI looks exciting but their Framework7 App Framework looks even…
I'm trying not to be a hater but really how is this: https://github.com/konstaui/konsta/blob/master/src/shared/cl... better than css or even css in js
I don't write CSS (normally) and yet I understand every single statement, and can easily find which statement I'd need to change for a given. It's that simple. You could argue "well you should learn CSS!" but at the end of the day, I don't need CSS often enough to want to bother. Frameworks like TailwindCSS have been great for people like me. - Also you went and dug into its guts to find the implementation details, t…
Sure, HTML looks uglier when I add a dozen classes to an element instead of adding one class with a dozen of CSS rules, but I'm more than willing to accept that as a compromise.
Overall, Tailwind made frontend design more accessible to me than it ever was, and I never have to use `!important` again.

I see the Tailwind fans come out on any criticism of their library. I posted my comment a few minutes ago and already got a few combative comments almost immediately afterwards.
People got tired of vue people continuously doing the same thing about anything vaguely related to react, too.

I’ve found what you said to be completely untrue unless you’re totally lazy. If you’re building up a bunch of components, the tailwind classes are mainly within the basic components. In the first example of vanilla extract, it uses exact px measurements which already demonstrates it’s not geared to solve one of the primary selling points of tailwind (using config as a constraint to reduce mental overhead when buildin…

Ah yes, the laziness argument. Let's not blame our tools but ourselves for the tools are always good and righteous. If only those darn C programmers weren't so lazy writing their memory leaks.
