#32I often use plain HTML and a classless CSS (e.g. Water.css[0]) for personal projects. This way it's easy to write and maintain. Looks okay. Fast feedback cycle during development. No need for build steps. Works in browsers without JavaScript. Works well on desktop and mobile devices. Highly recommended if suits your needs. [0]: https://watercss.kognise.dev/

#34For styling I pick up Bulma CSS if I need some more complex components (tabs, modals etc.) or TailWind if I just want to pepper a little styling here and there. All this loaded directly from CDN. No build step, no server etc required. You easily do debugging from browser console.
I have made a few internal tools like this which my co workers use everyday.

#39Take a look at Pinegrow [0] (I'm the author). It is a desktop app that lets you visually work with standard HTML & CSS files and supports frameworks such as Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS or just plain old CSS. There are also more advanced features, for example live SASS compilation, components, interactions and even exporting WordPress themes and blocks. [0] https://pinegrow.com
Any plan to compile this to webassembly and make it run in the browser? Webflow is killing it. I had no idea there were other options. To be clear, I... don't even know why I want that? Desktop software runs faster than webapps do. But for some reason I feel like people these days simply prefer to not download stuff. Weird.
We also have Pinegrow Online [0] that works 100% in the browser - without webassembly. The performance is quite good for such a complex UI.
