If i might ask a troubling question, i feel the side product of this lib, to make names shorter, but less recognizably, is the opposite trade off i would desire. I feel like tailwind short syntax, that this seems trying to achieve, is a byproduct of the lack of easy variables and ways to compose. Do i hold some misconception or do i just value things differently?

I don't know and have no strong opinion about it.

fair enough, i'm just trying to understand in what context this would be beneficial. It seems like, if i had to use tailwind like short hand e.g "w-31" it would be great. However, I find :width 31 to be more human readable. Is the goal here just to have less characters or i'm I missing something?

Sorry for the late reply. Originally, I built Girouette with a clear intent to make it customizable. I made some components which are compatible with the Tailwind syntax, but that was not supposed to be its main goal. To use width-31 instead of w-31 is possible and easy, just need to provide modified components to the make-api function.
