Developers remember, you can always push back on design requirements instead of bringing in more bloat.

I was sitting next to one of the devs in a co-working space and he was trying to figure out some specific layout issue in react native. He spent 4 hours + installed a dependency to be able to do something completely tiny on a privacy policy screen. He asked me how I would do it, I told him to just ask if it can be laid out differently. He got it approved and implemented in 10 minutes. No bloat.

I'm finding it's better to use "javascript-less" UI frameworks [Pico.CSS, Skeleton, Bulma, Tailwind/daisyUI]. You get most of the benefits using good use of CSS. Anyone used these JS-free solutions and have recommendations?
