@BackwoodzHipHop @GabeNandez @mondieumusic Where’s best to get hold of this on the UK? Will it be distributed outside of the backwoodz site?

The way I was WAITING for someone to use this sound. I am so grateful

@seanrleahy oh god, I feel seen, I thought I was the only one

@aarongarciah @vladmoroz @thdxr @MaterialUI @chakra_ui @radix_ui @tailwindcss I thought this was the case, didn't want to assume, and misunderstand. We're currently in the process of trying to better understand the trade-offs between layout components & CSS utilities.

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@aarongarciah @vladmoroz @thdxr Out of interest what do you define as component based layout? <Flex />?

While witnessing powerful acts of communication during this (durational) moment - poems, speeches, live media appearances, essays, graphics, posters, songs, translations - you can see all the more clearly why governments like ours want to restrict creative subjects.

@jacobrask @_alanbsmith This has given me a lot of food for thought!

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@jacobrask @_alanbsmith oh wow, great read, thankyou for sharing. So, CSS first, but using React where necessary, say, for RadioGroup etc.?

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@jacobrask @_alanbsmith You're right, it's just that at the moment consumers are locked into installing and using CSS-in-JS because of our styling solution. I'd like to change that, but also still offer it as an option. But this is contrary to what Alan is saying in the first place.

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@_alanbsmith The main reason being not wanting to force the overhead of using emotion on teams that don't want to use CSS-in-JS or are looking to make use of RSC.

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@_alanbsmith This thread is really interesting to hear, we're actually looking to decouple our emotion/sx/styled styling solution from our components in order to enable different teams to use their CSS flavour of choice (sass,modules,in-JS etc.)

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@UserBexperience No worries. @Amy_Hupe did all the work, writing her article.

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@UserBexperience Just a gentle awareness heads-up https://t.co/datAZ1x8Su

@seanrleahy Keep striving x

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@_alanbsmith I like this idea a lot.

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

Build-time CSS-in-JS in a Next.js server component (with source maps!) via macros. 👀

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@olivtassinari @MUI_hq @JoshWComeau I suppose this pushes the building of the stylesheet onto the consumer, rather than providing one for them to consume.

[Rob Phoenix @brdltbrncle]

@olivtassinari @MUI_hq @JoshWComeau OK, sounds good. Tbh I'm still having a bit of a problem with the mind shift of having a DS which offers a Box component for general purpose styling and how to emulate that with libs like Pigment & Panda which generate static CSS 😅🤔 interested to see how Pigment is used in MUI
