Features

Let's have a quick overview of the groundbreaking features of Master CSS:

• 🔥 A whole new CSS language instead of utilities/libraries.
• 🔓 Write CSS properties, functions, selectors and even media queries directly in class="...".
• 🧠 Automatically generate corresponding CSS rules based on class names.
• 💖 With enhanced CSS syntax, you can build UIs with less code.
• ⚡️ Directly use performant JIT in production. ~13KB
• 🧬 An enhanced and structured CSS syntax for class names.
• 🌈 A forerunner to syntax highlighting for class names.
• ✨ Hybrid Rendering that allows you to pre-generate CSS from HTML on the server side, and then continue to use JIT on the client side.
• ✨ Group Styles that allows you to extract the same selectors and media query styles and make it short.
• ✨ Reactive Styles that allows you to style an element based on parent/sibling state.

Why Master CSS

A brief introduction starts by giving you an understanding of markup-driven CSS.

😐 Traditional

<style>
    .home-section {
        background-color: blue;
        padding: 2rem;
        text-align: center;
    }

    .home-section:hover {
        background-color: red;
    }

    @media (min-width: 1024px) {
        .home-section {
            padding: 3rem;
        }
    }
</style>

<section class="home-section">...</section>

🤩 Now, refactor it with a whole new CSS language to make it easier. ↓ 86% code

<section class="bg:blue bg:red:hover p:32 p:48@md text:center">...</section>
