Theme-ui: Theme UI vs Styled System

Created on 9 Jun 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: system-ui/theme-ui

In simple terms, I'm just wondering why you'd choose this over styled system? My understanding so far is its a layer on top of style system to help streamline a few things such as general layout creation, as well as offering the ability to style certain components from the context of a theme file?

Cheers!

Generally I don't see it as an either or, since both libraries should be compatible with one another; Theme UI packages up a few other things, so if you want a higher-level abstraction and don't want to set up everything from scratch, it can help speed things up. I tried to add a little bit of the thinking to the docs here as well: https://theme-ui.com/motivation#how-is-this-different-from-styled-system
