Author here. This library aims to be a compromise between the expressive APIs of CSS-in-JS libraries like styled-components, and the extremely low overhead of plain CSS.

Would love feedback on, in particular, whether it seems like a useful compromise, or whether it fails to capture enough of what's good about either CSS-in-JS or plain CSS on their own.

I was thinking about this recently. I've somehow avoided CSS-in-JS up to this point. I generally find functional CSS frameworks to be the most readable in that I like to be able to look at the classes and know essentially what's going on. I'm glad you made it and I'm bookmarking it for later.

Thanks! It's a tiny library and my team is using it in production, so I plan on maintaining it for a very long time.
