Had a great day here in LA yesterday: Gave a talk at Media Arts Lab, for to visit Sony Santa Monica games studio and met an old Brit friend for dinner 👏

Howdy! 🤓 How do you all handle native #CSS Nesting at the moment? Are you using it already? And if so, are you just targeting newer browsers that support it? Or are you using PostCSS, for example?

Asking for a friend who has reduced his build process to the max (nothing but a little esbuild script) and is now hesitating to add PostCSS again… 😉

Watched a few highlight videos from the Women’s EURO with my daughter.

I’m trying to help a client pick a good UI framework they can start their product with, but ultimately grow into their own design system and component library. They have started development with React, which isn’t surprising, but they are also open to using a more framework-agnostic approach in the future.

Any suggestions for a really mature and solid, themeable framework as a starting point? Chakra UI? Ark UI? Radix?
