I discovered this Tachyons, a CSS library, while using Ananke as my blog theme. It reminds me of tailwindcss, but it seems it doesn’t require an asset pipeline.
I wrote HTML and CSS when I was employed at a small company founded by a Ph.D. student during my college years. Their primary tool was Drupal, a CMS developed in PHP. I recall struggling with frequently switching between class names and stylesheets, getting lost in different naming conventions, lengthy class names, and unexpected overrides from various modules. This experience might have played a role in steering me towards becoming a back-end engineer.
To me, the concept of utility classes popularized by tailwindcss is fascinating because it eliminates unconventional class names. Everything follows a standard convention, much like how Ruby on Rails operates.
