    What HN people wrote when they linked it

      While it's always great to see performance gains, my largest pain point with prettier was never performance. Instead my only gripe with prettier is the "line wrapping noise" it creates, illustrated here by Anthony Fu: https://antfu.me/posts/why-not-prettier#the-line-wrapping-noise

      Would it be realistic to expect a solution for this issue now that "prettier needs to step up it's game"?

      Anthony Fu’s epoch versioning scheme (to differentiate breaking change majors from "marketing" majors) could yield easy winners here, at least on the raw version number alone (not the number of sequential versions released):

      Haven't seen it mentioned, but if you like Tailwind, maybe take a look at UnoCSS: https://github.com/unocss/unocss

      It is like the next evolution of Tailwind. See this blog post for full explanation: https://antfu.me/posts/reimagine-atomic-css

      >But a QR code would definitely be audible as a series of quiet beeps, unless you exploited auditory masking. The article we are discussing, and just a cursory google search, may interest you.

      These are also very cool: https://antfu.me/posts/ai-qrcode

      Diffusion image generation constrained to also be a valid QR code

    • azophy_2Sep 2022

      I think WindiCSS came up with it earlier than Tailwind. See https://antfu.me/posts/windicss-and-tailwind-jit
