Tachyons VS SUIT CSS

I chose Tachyons over Tailwind because Tachyons is an atomic CSS framework, similar to Tailwind, however it's much lighter weight. Tailwind tends to be a bit heavier without using post CSS processing so I wanted to stick with something smaller. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

Tachyons is a similar utility class framework, and a lot smaller at somewhere under 20kb, IIRC. https://tachyons.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I like using a functional CSS library (tachyons.io, tailwindcss, or SLDS) and setup components separately. The CSS has my colors and units declared (and the aim is to not have 40 different gray colors, it's to limit yourself with a definition list).

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are rules to describe how your HTML elements look. Writing good CSS is hard.

Tachyons developer, Adam Morse in this talk at DevShop London 2016, talks about motivation behind Tachyons. He discusses the problem of continuous over-riding your own written CSS code, writing tons of CSS code, struggle to keep all this info in your head and the need to refactor 200Kb CSS file. His answer to the problem is Tachyons. SUIT CSS (Style Tools for UI Components). Was the initial inspiration that lead... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
