Let's Write CSS in Elixir!
summary
A layout engine for Scenic that brings CSS-like positioning into Elixir, implemented as the layout-o-matic library and published on Hex; it provides simple grid and complex grid primitives (top/left/right/bottom/center and percentage columns) and plugs into Scenic scenes. The repo and the slide-deck-as-a-library exist; basic layouts work and adapt to viewport changes, but APIs are immature, adoption is near-zero and more design work and community discussion are needed. Scenic integration is demonstrated with live slides.
