  1. 1
    Next Generation Frontend Tooling

    After following some interesting topics on Twitter and reading some blogposts, I decided to take a more basic approach and use a mixture of tried and tested libraries like Preact combined with TypeScript as well as popular new approaches like Vite (for the tooling part).

  2. A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    For styling the application I needed to see what the recommendations were and while some people seemed to favour the css only route, I added Tailwind due to extensive documentation and examples. It suits the requirements and always liked the ideas in Tachyons. Furthermore it helped with learning some modern CSS, due being able to inspect the actual CSS of a class name.
