The conclusion I took from the article was that CSS simply isn’t scalable. I’ve been hearing about web components for years and nothing seems to have materialized. I’ve never built something where I thought to even use shadow DOM. Tailwind is the only solution that meets the stated aims. If tailwind doesn’t adhere to the dogma for how CSS should work in principle, well that’s a lovely problem to have.
- weo3dev 4y ago"Nothing seems to have materialized..." --> https://nordhealth.design/ https://nordhealth.design/ -- these are all custom components. And here is D. Darnes explaining in part how they get things done: https://web.dev/custom-properties-web-components/ https://web.dev/custom-properties-web-components/ CSS is scalable. You have to actually know CSS in order to accomplish it. I've been here since mid-90s, when CSS first existed. It isn't until the past four or five years that things have really blossomed into (imho) what it should have been from the outset. Unfortunately, since we have had to use filler tools for things like layout (tables, hacked flexbox for grid), CSS itself has taken a beating in perceived usefulness/weildability. I believe because of THAT, fewer and fewer people have decided to actually learn CSS. CSS is a robust language. It is programmable. It is scalable. You just have to learn it, practice it, and approach problem solving from the top down, bottom up, and sometimes sideways. :-)
