This was one uncanny exhibition… 🙀

TAC: A CSS methodology for the Web Components era.
All our favorite CSS methodologies were created more than 10 years ago in the pre-Web Components era. (…) I've found all that in a new methodology I've been following for the past 5 years. I call it Tag, Attributes, then Classes or TAC (…):
