Of course it's just class names, what I mean is that if fewer people used React and more used Svelte/Vue they would feel less need for things like Tailwind or CSS-in-JS. My argument is that React is actively bad for writing HTML&#

This is achievable in a much nicer way with SFC frameworks like Vue and Svelte where you also get scoped styles and other benefits. One of the reasons Tailwind is so popular is that so few developers know anything other than React.
64.
by The5thElephant 4y ago
Exactly. Tailwind and CSS-in-JS are both a reaction to the limitations of React JSX and how poorly it treats HTML and CSS. If Vue/Svelte had gotten the popularity React has you would see a lot more people realizing that SFCs and scoped

Vue handles it just fine with doing the hard work behind the scenes and just passing you some CSS classes to connect your animations to (and there are JS events to use as well if you need a JS animation). Main difference is Svelte gets the

I love Vue 3, but 99% of the reason I love it is the SFCs and not using JSX/TSX most of the time. Vue can't optimize render functions as well as it can optimize templates, and templates are significantly more approachable for peop

This would be way easier if everyone didn't default to using React or even worse React-Native-Web. Not only do you have to deal with handling CSS recalcs (not so bad on its own), you also have to deal with React rerendering the entire

I know for a fact a lot of the people participating in these communities were fully adults, and the age of the people being racist does little to mitigate the impact it has on the people on the receiving end of it. I find it really bizarre

by The5thElephant 4y ago
How is that relevant? Yes communities tend to be prejudiced against things outside their assumed norm and the anonymity of the web makes it easy for them to express it without repercussion. That doesn't make the negative impact it had

But it is unclear what you are disagreeing with. They never said that there was nothing positive in those communities. So what is the point of your comment? To make sure no one leaves this thread thinking that those communities were a net n

by The5thElephant 4y ago
The point isn't to figure out whether these communities were a net positive or negative. I wasn't a target of any of the racism, sexism, homophobia, etc on these forums and chat rooms but I sure saw a lot of it everywhere I partic

The difference between Vue/Svelte style scoped CSS and CSS modules isn't really that different in practice. When working with a larger team it is harder to enforce being careful with class name uniqueness, so the auto-scoping is b

But it's a far worse developer experience, particularly for designers and HTML/CSS/A11y folks who aren't as JS focused. It's not like you really are getting that much benefit from writing CSS in JS besides familiari

Can you be more specific? What is easier to do with JSX+JS that is harder to do in Vue/Svelte context? Or another take on the question, will it be easier to read and understand for someone new to the codebase or JS development?

How can you say there is no difference? What do you think Vue and Svelte SFCs are? Where does React have built-in component style scoping? Where does React have automatic passing of classes and properties to components? Can I write SCSS in

by The5thElephant 4y ago
There is no built-in support for writing your styles alongside your JSX the way Vue and Svelte have. Both provide automatic component style scoping, escape hatches, deep selectors, etc. Vue passes classes given to a component instance into

Regarding your second point, this is exactly why I like Vue and Svelte so much over React (which I am also quite familiar with). Coming from a design background and having learned HTML/CSS first, the Svelte and Vue approach to SFCs and

Spotify does work with Siri on iOS but does not work with Siri on Homepod/Homepod Mini. They complain in their Time to Play Fair website about Apple not giving them access to Homepod, but Apple provided them access over two years ago.

Tailwind certainly has some advantages and nice features, but the length of the class string when you need something common but complex like a custom styled checkbox including focus states, various hovers, media-queries, etc gets absurd and

Consciousness does influence the universe by being part of it. That's why we have the illusion of choice within the context of each moment rather than some meta-alien's perspective. But no it can't defeat determinism if that&

Consciousness is not a thing that gets bifurcated. It is just a word for an information state that is aware. If you create two information states, you have two awareness states. That is not bifurcation any more than copying a movie and edit
