Is setting !important on every class really a great idea?

Johan André —

Please, stop writing shitware like this!

First of all: read the definition of “Framework”. Excerption from wikipedia: “In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software.” You do not have a real application layer, you have a css that gets included by your library.

Second: learn css best practices. Two-dash names, !important-s everywhere and overwriting defaults mean you have no clue how good CSS gets written.

Third: the performance! Only this piece of shit.scss (https://github.com/the-teacher/protozaur/blob/2120f007026d869f3ac5fb6662e56df98401c345/app/assets/stylesheets/ptz/framework.css.scss#L5-L20) creates 2,000 CSS classes!

This is like going back to the 90s and styling the page with the style attribute! You should use CSS classes to create component abstractions not to style the document!

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
