#PicoCSS is so good it made me forget how painful and absurd everything else was

Why do I need to tell #tailwind that a button is a goddamn button? Are you serious? And I need to put the "input" class on the "input" tag??? Why?!

I will be so brave while working on this project, but I will complain about it the whole time. Maybe I'll even end up liking Tailwind (lol, X to doubt)

Front end has never been my main focus, but I've written ~5k lines of #Vue (mostly 2, but also a good chunk of Vue 3). My experience with #Nuxt is quite limited, but I have practically zero bad things to say about it

The real MVP is #PicoCSS because my dumbass is shit at making things look pretty

Ok, so I wimped out on going no-framework for this project, and ended up using #PicoCSS (prompted by a toot from ‪@pixolin‬). I still plan to try and loosely follow CUBE CSS, using Pico CSS as the global layer (as it's mostly classless).

By the way, Guix issues' front-end has been renewed, thanks to rekado. One can now choose a light or a dark theme.

#gnu #guix #picocss

i got a crud app working

- #rust + axum
- #picoCSS (no css, just html)
- #htmx (no javascript, just html)
- #postgres + sqlx

all extra files (.html, .css, .sql, etc.) are statically linked into the binary, so no need for docker

i’m satisfied with how little accidental complexity there is. some rust awkwardness, but not much
