This is really nice! Although I’d find it impractical to use, especially for existing projects, unless it also supported different CSS-in-JS libraries (e.g., Emotion, Styled Components), rather than inline styles with the `style` prop.

These other libraries offer a great deal of more support, such as targeting children and pseudo-elements (e.g., :hover).

Any plans/timeline on adding support for other React-in-CSS libraries?

This. From the video it’s hard to see if you can declare and reuse styles or if all styles are inline and need to be repeatedly applied to identical components.

Either way, this is really awesome. Huge congrats on the release. It reminds me of one of my fav talks which I can’t find right now but it’s a guy that codes up a Mario clone while toggling back and forth between the game and the code and making changes in the game updates the source code. If anyone knows what I’m talking about please reply here.

Bret Victor is our idol! I didn't even have to click the video to know exactly which one you were talking about :)

I've been working on a WebGL project that had extremely low frame rates to start with and refused to give up until it rendered in real-time because of this talk. It's one thing to make something useful but I think the real measure of success is if it's useful and the value is created in real-time like you've done. Congrats!

This is it!!! Thank you.
