I think Tachyons struck the balance to be honest. Tailwind's "functions" and combinations seem to allow a higher level of complexity where it becomes difficult to quickly inspect a class block after some time has passed.

This is a cool project! One small suggestion: the native blue links for the author name, "thread", and "reply" make the content hard to focus on as the UI is quite intrusive. HN solves this quite well with a colour schem

> We shouldn't limit ourselves because of climate change. We should instead improve the technology and make it better so it doesn't impact the climate in such a way it becomes unsustainable. I think we totally should limit ours

Really enjoyed reading this article as a Sunday afternoon long-read. Well structured and covers a lot of things I have experienced but haven't formed into such a clear description. Also really appreciate the realistic examples!

Feeling pretty disillusioned by another iPhone and iOS update. The 3.5mm coupled with lightning instead of USB-C just look like obvious traps for lock in with no real gain (5hr of playback time?!) iOS still continues its march of adding min

The fact that the defendant used "washable chalk" does not make him innocent of vandalism, as some are suggesting. Chalk can stain the side of a building if repeatedly used in the same place. Washing the building will reduce the c
