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>
