IDK about the article but in this context: Atomic css, in particular Tachyons, paired with React is one of the fastest ways to create gorgeous and consistent designs.
- omneity 7y agoHave you tried tailwind css before? It's a similar philosophy to Atomic but slightly higher level (similar to Tachyons) more opinionated, and potentially even faster to develop with.
- hnbreak 7y agoYes, I tried tailwind few times but I'm 10x more productive with Tachyons: tailwind doesn't make sense from my point of view. It wants to be atomic css but has way too long class names, they're so long I could also use normal style declarations in object notation; then it's not as intuitive, the setup is cumbersome and then it's not a real design system like Tachyons is. E.g. Tachyons' chosen units are super thought-through--you can't make bad designs. So, after this, I got back to Tachyons and never looked back. Still I think it's good to see another contender because atomic css should be the standard and the more players the better.
- asimpletune 7y agoThanks for the tip! I’m a backend/systems engineer and this is exactly what I need to make functional frontends when I have to.
