Thank you very much for sharing your thoughtful insights and feedback.

In response to your inquiry regarding HTML validation, I would like to provide some clarification.

Lism components (React / Astro) are rendered as standard HTML5, utilizing regular CSS classes and values within the style attribute. Consequently, they are fully compatible with various validation and auditing tools—such as Lighthouse, axe, and the W3C validator—functioning in the same manner as any other component framework.

Furthermore, please allow me to add one additional point. Using Lism does not strictly require the use of our specific component syntax. The core essence of Lism lies in its CSS design and the provided .css files.

Therefore, by simply importing the CSS, you can apply Lism styles directly to standard HTML elements using classes. This approach requires no special attributes or additional build steps. The component layer, which offers the convenience of short props such as "p" or...

I used Tachyons CSS (similar to atomic CSS) before Tailwind and possibly UnoCSS existed. Utility classes solve different problems and, in turn, have indirectly helped with MPA setups.

I'm still rely on these syntax autocomplete in VS Code, but beginners still need to learn the fundamentals of CSS and HTML5. This is important, especially since a large number of websites—millions, in fact—fail audit tests.

Let's say, can the HTML validation tools audit Lism source code directly, or does it have to be done in the browser after rendering? That could be challenging when dealing with a large number of pages, such as 1,000+ articles. If so, developers might end up skipping the process.

If they will never learn from their mistakes or deal with browser edge cases over the next 20 years. The web will only get worse.

Thank you for responding!

I understand. At first glance, it might feel like the syntax is a bit strange or even off-putting.

But think back for a moment. Tailwind was also heavily criticized when it first appeared.

Whenever we see something truly innovative for the first time, our minds often have a natural gut reaction to reject it.

However, if you are willing to pay just a small initial learning cost, a very comfortable CSS life might be waiting for you.

If you are interested, I would love for you to look into it a bit more deeply, and if you feel like it, give it a try.

I believe the design philosophy behind Lism is quite fascinating.

I've tons of passkey but with EmDash I'm getting
"Failed to verify admin setup"

What are `p`, `ar`, `bgc`, `g`, `lv`, `fz`, `ff`? Are we coding or learning piano chords? 🎹 This isn’t better than what we already have—it’s just opinionated chaos. We already have HTML5 attributes… please, let’s just use them before we invent a whole new language 😅.

I love passkeys. I hate that I can't get them to work with my linux systems and my iPhone. Having an alternate method would help until linux distros can get their act together

I completely agree, there should be alternative methods like traditional email + password with TOTP.

That makes absolute no sense to enforce that even for Production, should at least have alternative methods.

Same here. I don't have the ability to initiate a passkey on my laptop.
