ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Stylus (stylesheet language)

A stylus is like a special kind of pen that you use to write on a special type of paper. But in this case, the paper is a website, and the stylus is a special type of computer language that helps websites look really pretty and organized.

Just like when you use different colors and sizes of pens to make your drawing look cool, stylus helps website designers create different styles and designs for a website. It is a language that works with website code to make it easier for the designer to change things like the color, size, and shape of different parts of the website.

So instead of writing a lot of code to change just one small thing, stylus lets designers use fewer lines of code to make the changes they want. It's like giving them a bigger paintbrush so they can make bigger changes in less time.

Overall, stylus makes websites look better and work better, and it makes it easier for designers to create the look they want.
