THIS PACKAGE IS IN ALPHA

What is the concrete problem you want to solve?

Currently, each method of creating a UI in elm have some flaws.
- Elm-UI
1. If you like writing CSS yourself, this library isn't for you.
2. If you like writing HTML yourself, this library isn't for you.
- Tachyons & Tailwinds
1. Doesn't typecheck unless you're using a wrapper.
2. Doesn't do dead code elimination.
3. Can't customize within elm.
What would it mean for your API to be a success?
1. It's nice to use
2. Easy to Customize
3. Doesn't impede writing CSS or HTML
4. Reduces bundle size
What specific things are needed to solve that problem?

Still working on it. I do think this is a step in the right direction.
Have other people worked on this problem?

Yes! Many brilliant minds have! However, their goals are slightly different.
- Language
- CSS Preprocessing, CSS, Post-CSS, CSS-in-JS
- Scales and Color Palletes
What lessons can be learned from them? EVERYTHING! This package exists because of the brilliance of:
- Adam Morse
- Evan Czaplicki
- Matthew Griffith
- Richard Feldman
- Brent Jackson
- Nicole Sullivan
Are there specific weaknesses you want to avoid?

Where the package is right now and where I want it to be eventually, are two entirely different places. I don't want people to think this package is ready for primetime. IT'S NOT! There will be breaking changes! I'm trying to find something I like, once I think it's a good experience, I'll start sharing it on slack and writing proper documentation.
