Show HN: Tailwind Nested VSCode Extension
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RomanPeshkov.tailwind-nested
After playing around with Tailwind CSS - I can definitely say that the idea behind is really cool. However, I was really annoyed by editing big amount of hover:, focus: and other styles because of the duplication. Due to this, I decided to build an extension for VSCode that allows editing classes like there's a nesting applied.Pretty much it works in way that you can expand classes into multiple lines with simple hierarchy, do changes and then return it back to a single line.
The extension is in really early stage and definitely there will be a ton of issues at the moment.

You could also add a collapse toggle ">" to the classname line that will open the focus view (instead of the keyboard toggle). I think the VSCode API supports it.
I share that sentiment. I even "invented" something called "selectors" [1] which is a UI to handle all the Tailwind variants.
I popped this monstrosity of a Tailwind class in and your extension worked wonderfully in creating a tree of it: [2]
How ever when I collapsed it back to a single line something went wrong and it increased the length of the classes by ~15x creating this: [3]

I tried it to see what's going on. There are 2 issues that I need to fix:
- Variables. It splits incorrectly
- Arbitrary variants are split incorrectly as well
