One thing that always irritates me whenever I look back at the code for Flexiple is the naming of classes. No need to name classes except for extracted components So, each of the divs occupy full width on all screens except 640px and above (sm) where the sidebar occupies 25% and the main content takes up the rest. Need to stand out from traditional forum websites like Tribe. No one’s going to be hooked onto the community unless they like the look and feel of the website. Focus has to be on content posts and user profiles. The community will be built on top of this and hence, can’t just be a simple MVP. Over the past 1.5 years, we’ve worked hard to build an audience at Remote Tools and have a solid base of 4000 newsletter subscribers, 20,000 monthly visits, 2 seasons of podcast & 25 stories. The sudden remoteness situation due to COVID-19 works strongly in our favour and hence, we preponed our launch to May 2020. We are building an exclusive remote work focussed community, The Remote Clan. In this post, I describe why I chose to use a utility-first CSS framework to build my website’s UI in a fast, robust and low-maintenance way. I am the co-founder of Flexiple and Remote Tools. How’s this different from inline styles?.
