goober is a less-than-1KB CSS-in-JS library with a styled-components-like API for React, Preact, and vanilla DOM. It supports styled components, theming, keyframes, and server-side CSS extraction while keeping bundle size minimal.

Use cases

• style react components with css-in-js without a large bundle
• replace styled-components or emotion to reduce javascript bundle size
• extract critical css during server-side rendering
• theme components with shared colors and sizes
• use the styled pattern in preact apps
• write scoped css with keyframes and hover states in javascript

When to choose

• bundle size is critical and you want css-in-js under 1KB
• you already like the styled-components API but not its footprint
• you need SSR with easy css extraction
• you use react or preact and want a drop-in styled alternative

When to avoid

• you need the full ecosystem and advanced features of styled-components or emotion
• your team prefers plain css, css modules, or utility-first frameworks
• you rely on rarely used css-in-js features not supported by goober
