Deep dives
Understanding Atomic CSS
Atomic CSS is a CSS architecture model that emphasizes creating small, single-purpose utility classes for styling elements. Each class represents a specific CSS property and value, such as aligning text or setting margins. Although this concept gained traction recently due to the popularity of frameworks like Tailwind, atomic CSS has its roots dating back to 2013. It provides a structured way to manage styles, making it easier for developers to generate consistent designs across projects.
