:) i let a younger person on the core team create the new website for something different
it is using astro, we are scaling down the use of tailwind (I wanted to give it a try, but didn't really click with it.)
I don't mind someone doing something kind of fun with the website and trying something new out, I know some people don't like it but some people do. All good.
that’s fair! It definitely looks good and modern!! I just wonder if it compromises the initial impressions of the project in some way.
i suppose you have to at least try tailwind if you advocate for LOB … in https://harcstack.org, I have started with https://picocss.com which keeps the HTML squeaky clean. it is open to other Themes down the line and I have not rules tailwind out, but I suspect that it will make me feel dirty when I come to it. in general hArc is able to leverage Raku roles for code decomposition and the optimum design is settling on pinning CSS styles to elements (grid, table, form, etc) and encapsulating them so that changes to one thing do not cascade to another
isnt it obvious that some web sites will become unreadable without serious machine assistance, while classical HTML web standards have some fallback path to read by a human ?
clear text with minimal markup has many desirable properties IMHO
