Ok that's great. I guess I'm just skeptical you won't have to either A. Settle for premade layouts B. Learn some CSS like specification of custom styles. And that is where you get sucked into the rabbit hole





On the css side, I can tell you that rio (that is by no means the first library of its kind) actually does not require any knowledge of css to be used. It does not use the same concepts. While the simplification costs you some levels of customization, it is not something that would truly matter in a lot if not most of its use cases.

The simplified layout system comes with its own inspection tool built into the dev version of your app so you get productive in an hour or so. They really got that part right in my opinion. As soon as they make custom components done I’m gonna discuss adopting it for our internal tooling.

I am not affiliated with them btw.


> Settle for premade layouts

Just think of how many man years we could have saved if we did this.


And think of how many man centuries we could have saved if we were okay with a page refresh

We will save man-years, because an LLM will do that.

Nope! No premade layouts, and not a single line CSS. Give it a shot :)
