On this episode, we talk to Christian Alfoni & Fabrice Weinberg about their brand new Tailwind CSS inspired CSS in JS baby, Stitches!


Christian & Fabrice talk about the advantages that CSS in JS offers, allowing you to get automatic Critical CSS, have narrowly scoped styles, and skip the Purge CSS step found in more traditional approaches.

We discuss how they decided to abandon their Classy UI project in favor of Stitches, and how this new TypeScript-driven approach to design system tokens allows them to deliver the developer experience in spades.
