Re: Affordances and Lean CSS
Stephen Margheim (fractaledmind) wrote Affordances: The Missing Layer in Frontend Architecture this month. This quick post is my reply to his great article. I hear the objection already: “Isn’t this just… semantic CSS classes? We tried that.” You’re right that we tried it. But “it didn’t work” deserves unpacking. I was indeed objecting that in my mind. But I was not thinking, "it didn't work." I was thinking, "and it has kept working for decades. Obviously the utility-only workflow described is terrible; it's why I refuse to choose Tailwind.

Converted my website to css layers !
Still wip, a mess & huge pass of cleanup to do.
But it works and I can change top layer applied to my site live ! Just as one can change color-pref. Very cool and so usefull for debugging !You can try it out here : https://villapirorum.netlify.app (user-settings in the footer)
Special thx to @mia from which I stole the idea to have that setting publicly exposed on the page ! (check it on her site : https://www.miriamsuzanne.com)
