There's nothing in Tailwind that makes the craftsmanship dead, and your proposed solution with scoped styles somehow a revival of said craftsmanship. Note how your solution literally depends on a build tool (Vue) to work. Whereas Tailw

by troupo 9mo ago
No, no it makes exactly zero sense to have a "reconciliation engine" or React in a TUI. There's nothing to reconcile. You can just output a stream of characters as fast as they appear.
