The entire site (including page margins) being a link to HN is an annoyance
edit: also, the autoscroll thing
The Tailwind CSS complaints aren't wrong even today; any time I want to apply a Stylus CSS to fix someone's janky site---particularly, weekly offers from area grocery stores, where I fix it once or twice and enjoy a much better UI for a year or two---and then all I see is class="rounded-lg shadow-primary-400 my-4 md:px-4 bg-white py-20 pt-8 dark:border-gray-600" for every single element... it gets me seriously aggravated! It's a hassle to modify and a hassle to parse. I imagine it's only convenient to write/maintain because you use a separate tool and compile it into the garbage it becomes.
- H8crilA 7mo agoThank you. HN delivers.
- jasaldivara 7mo agoNot just Tailwind; most of the listed criticism are still valid and relevant, even after those products had success.
- benoliver999 7mo agoIn fact a lot of these helped shape our miserable dystopia. HN didn't see that coming
- Terretta 7mo ago"Everyone adopted it, therefore it won" can exist at the same time as "sometimes the crowd is not wise." There is an increasing pre-chasm drip over past 5 years posts discovering modern HTML, CSS, and JS. They talk through the monster abstractions then show how to handle with the foundations at a fraction of code and future cost. It'd be interesting to see this realization, however slowly it has started, catch on all at once.
