  • CSS states often conflict due to specificity and source order, making component styling unpredictable.
  • The author developed Tasty, a tool that compiles state maps into mutually exclusive selectors to eliminate ambiguity.
  • Tasty handles complex interactions like pseudo-classes, attributes, media queries, and container queries declaratively.
  • The tool aims to make component styling predictable and easier to extend in large design systems.
  • Tasty has been tested in production with Cube UI Kit, spanning over 100 components.
