Compile CSS

CSS is arguably the best means of UI customization.

Consider an example of graphic-editing of UI elements:

Using CSS, all elements in that project could potentially be done without graphics.

Pros

  • practically all designers now know CSS
  • it's vastly capable

Cons

  • can't really decouple CSS from HTML whereas HTML is the biggest performance bottleneck (we'll solve this using different means)

The Problem

Unfortunately, CSS can get incredibly bulky. So what if we could design using CSS in a way that could feasibly be compiled to a local app?

In general, everything would be styled using CSS, in the same bulky way it exists in browsers. But when compiled, it's no longer bulky.

Benefits

  • we have the full flexibility of CSS for all apps
  • we have the full speed of native apps if needed

CSS sans DOM

CSS is amazing, but the HTML DOM isn't. It's just so heavy. Maybe if JSON or some similar format could replace HTML/XML, it could be made lighter? Better, I think, would be to use a human readable format like Eno . It's as terse but much easier to read than JSON.

Familiarity and workflow

Blender is a 3D design software with a built-in video editor and a powerful compositor, among other relatively hidden gems. The advantage of these tools in a 3D design app might not be obvious to some but it saves from having to learn workflows of multiple apps. Once a user is comfortable with Blender's basic workflow and key commands, it's much easier to learn other parts of the software. Rather than exporting rendered videos to edit in another software, they can use the workflow they're already familiar with to edit within Blender. To be forthright, Blender has a steep learning curve. It takes time to get acquainted with it. The reward being increased productivity through familiarity with an intuitive and fast workflow. Once that time is taken, the same workflow can be applied to other aspects of design like video editing and compositing. What we want is a workflow that's far easier to learn than Blender's. Notepad for Windows provides our base experience. An
