haha, fair point. Still, I'm on the fence about how utility components are namespaced in USWDS. Perhaps giving users the flexibility to define the namespace might work better? One thing that bugs me is the absence of class-sorting like we have in TailwindCSS. Plus, there are some gaps I've noticed in USWDS. The naming, especially when comparing "padding-x-2" and "p-x-2", can be really annoying when switching around, maybe that could also be an option for the developer or project. Similar to the ideas antfu has on uno.css https://unocss.dev/

In our foundational setup for the new https://beta.nasa.gov and https://beta.science.nasa.gov websites, we've adopted the US Web Design System (USWDS). While our other core products primarily rely on Tailwind, we are quite familiar with this toolkit. In my opinion, comparing the two is not entirely straightforward, but the USWDS toolkit has been implemented effectively, despite some of its "America First" usa-* class names.

The decision to use the same toolkit across our projects is largely influenced by the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (IDEA), which mandates federal agencies to modernize their websites and digital services. You can find more information about IDEA here: https://www.hhs.gov/web/governance/21st-century-idea.html#:~....

One hint: just imagine using your digital signature (NFT or whatever you call it) and traveling in space with your VR devices in your browser? Sounds cool?! This is where this project is heading to.

Same bit of confusion as above, and by your name being 'cryptography' I guess I'm just hoping this isn't a planet-based NFT project :(

I've used WP for years and still have stores and sites humming along just fine with my own theme and minimal plugins (pre-gutenberg), it had been my tool of choice throughout the start of my professional career. Those WP sites proudly filled my resume and PHP was my go to backend language until around 6 years ago.

Honestly, I was skeptical of Wagtail before developing blocks to work with their StreamField concept and diving into how clean and clear the Python models can be written as well as how all the data is clearly typed. Our team has decoupled implementations where we use Wagtail's GraphQL API and a modern Javascript frontend, along with traditional Django template driven sites. The ecosystem for Wagtail and Django is larger than you may think, but you are correct it that may take a few weeks to build out some integration that could have been plug-and-play in the WP plugin ecosystem, I usually take weeks to vet any off-the-shelf plugin and look into all of its code anyways.
