While SASS may have formed the backbone of @karsten_biedermann's projects for years, it's undeniable that modern CSS has become very capable. With helpful new features like CSS Nesting, Karsten questions whether it's justifiable to reach for SASS anymore.

Props to all our Top 7 authors featured above: @kigazon, @fpaghar, @karsten_biedermann, @piotrkulpinski, @jurajmalenica, @hikarimaeda, & @itswillt!
Appreciate ya all sharing such wonderful posts with us. π
Why I am not part of this? Hmmm... that's bad... and why #htmx is not available in DEV?
Dawww, I'm sorry to disappoint! FWIW, you did write a great post here. π
And to be clear, #htmx is available as a tag here!
#htmx
But, if you're wondering why it wasn't showing up in the drop-down of tags when you're typing them in, I can see that it wasn't set to "supported" β I've just changed that! π
But, folks can always add any tag β supported or not β to their articles. We don't have any firm restrictions there! We just choose to support certain tags that are more popular and common if that makes sense. #htmx is def a good one to support!
Oh thank you for this information. It will popular after this... π
By the way! Thank you for you feedback in my journal about HTMX
Woohoo!! Congrats to everyone!
