Ask HN: Feedback on this CSS library I am writing

2 points

8 years ago

Hi everybody, I would like to get some feedbacks on DSS - a css library that I am working on. DSS stands for Deterministic StyleSheets and aims to solve one of the many issues with CSS that is deterministic styles resolution i.e. when you apply class "a b" b styles should always win over a's. If you invert the order "a" styles will win over "b".

I am a CSS guy and didn't want to make yet another CSS-in-JS library - there are a few that already solve this problem. What I want to do is make a simple library where one can author normal CSS and get those features for free. I want it to be language agnostic so it can be used with any language like CSS Modules do. Technically you could even use preprocessors like SASS before compiling with the DSS compiler.

Any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you
