Integrating Custom CSS Frameworks and Styles in Webstudio

Integrating Custom CSS Frameworks and Styles in Webstudio

At a glance

The community members are discussing the ability to integrate their own CSS frameworks and styles with the Webstudio platform. The platform representatives indicate that they do not have plans to allow importing custom CSS frameworks, but will be providing a standard style guide and design system for users to work with. They suggest using a tokens-based system instead of classes. Some community members express confusion and frustration with this approach, feeling that it is too restrictive and that they would prefer to be able to use their own CSS frameworks. The platform representatives acknowledge the concerns but ultimately decide to close the discussion, stating that they will not be making changes to this policy in the near future.

own css framework

no plans in this regard

css vars will be supported soon

ok. so we are not able to import frameworks to use inside? and have to create all from ground up?

sort of, there will be design systems already created for you, in fact there are already some, but we are going to work on a standard style guide for webstudio after we realse css vars

?

i dont understand. means we get forced to use a system?

not forced, recommended

wow, sounds a bit strange

why?

we cant import our own, we must recreate

but we can use the one webstudio offers

css has shit load of issues we are trying to avoid

how does this fit, in terms of "we dont want you to bring your own"

if you want to deal with those isssues you might as well just write code

yes but when we can create our own, how to avoid? Oo

you can create your own thing based on tokens

hmhm

you can't bring your own css based framework

oh

what can we even do then?

so we cant create our own and can only use yours?

i dont understand this, srsly not

we provide you tokens system instead of classes

do with it whatever you want

?

build your own system, use what we provide

did you try using tokens?

sure

hard to handle

but its ok. its just playing around with. not planned to used in any production page atm

can you explain what's hard about it?

not within next 2 years i guess

no

i dont see a reason to explain

well thanks for your input then

since there won't be any changes at all 🙂

i didnt exepect such a closed system i have to admit

I could go and explain a lot of things but you won't care, so I prefer to close this discussion

nothing against the approach, seems i just understood it 100% wrong 😄

yes right, if you think this way and cant handle question then its best to close.
