🌟 ☪️ ➖ Atomizer vs Minimalist Notation (MN) 👰🏾 👨🏼‍💻 🕘

Minimalist Notation (MN) is a flexible and adaptive style generation technology.

It only generates styles for existing html, jsx, etc. markup classes. - thanks to which there is no need to worry about the component approach in CSS, dead CSS code, and there is no need to write CSS code at all.

It supports breakpoints (media queries), selectors, priorities, groupings, necessary auto-prefixes and polyfills.

Using this technology is similar to using inline styles, only with much more expressive syntax and many additional features, so MN can even be called inline styles 2.0 technology.

MN implies not only the notation rules as such, but, in fact, even an improved alternative syntax of the cascading style setting language, which is focused on inline application.

I developed MN in 2017, and since then I have managed to improve this technology in many ways, add enough presets and convenient tools to study it.

If someone wants to know how it occurred to me to develop my own technology, I leave a link to my repository so as not to plagiarize from myself.

MN technology has extensive functionality.

For many, it is new, and has almost no other primary sources to study, besides this article, so I warn you that below there will be LOTS of LETTERS and code examples.

Let's start with more or less well-known functionalities that are also available in the closest analogue of this technology, while making a comparison.

The best way to explain something is to show examples.

We start with the comparison Minimalist-Notationwith a less well-known functionalities of its first analog: Atomizer.
