Discord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAM

One improvement could be a better way to group and elide units, e.g.

Instead of

.border_1().border_color(rgb(0x0000ff))

You get

.border(1 0x0000ff)

(guess, this can only be in a macro)

Or at least have "color" which understands that it's allied to border instead of having to repeat "border"

Don't give up too early, there is no way it can't be, we don't really have any good systems optimized for ergonomics to reach anything great

After 10 or so of those you'll start dreaming of

   border-left: 2px solid rgb(0 0 100%);

right?

If you're dreaming, why would you stop at that when you could dream of much more visually compelling solid left thick border in a single symbol

or more explicitly

that'd be perfectly paired with a dream-like visual designer that doesn't exist?
