What the hell have you built

I love the fact that the author "wrote" this page with massive CSS framework (tailwind) and some sort of Javascript framework, with a bundler and obfuscator - instead of a plain, simple HTML page. Well played! :-)

Fair, the author's point would have been stronger if the page was made using just static HTML/CSS.

But I have to defend Tailwind, it's not a massive CSS framework, it just generates CSS utility classes. Only the utility classes you use end up in the output CSS.

React + Tailwind + bundler + googlefont + ... Yeah, humans are paradoxical

good point, got rid of google font. for the rest, it's just that the DX is unmatched to get something quick and dirty started up. (I _could_ have done a simple .html though). and I'll concede that react is overkill for this, I just wanted components + typescript to not waste time on silly vanilla js bugs

haha, right?! I'm totally onboard with the author's philosophy, hence for websites: https://mastrojs.github.io – the simple web framework and site generator you could have built yourself.
