In the modern frontend ecosystem, it's almost assumed that you need a complex toolchain. Webpack, Babel, PostCSS, ESLint... the list goes on. But for many projects, this complexity is a barrier, not a benefit.
The "Fatigue" is Real
Javascript fatigue isn't just a meme. Setting up a new project often involves hours of configuration before writing a single line of code. We built AtomAttr to challenge this norm. By moving the style compilation to the browser runtime, we eliminate the need for a build step entirely.
Performance vs. Convenience
Critics argue that runtime compilation is slow. While true for massive applications in 2015, modern browsers are incredibly fast. AtomAttr's engine is optimized to compile only the attributes it sees, often completing its work in under 10ms—imperceptible to the user.
