i feel like all the existing CSS we have is sort of a "one off" there doesn't seem to be a lot of reusable pieces in there. There are 14k lines of CSS 😱

I could talk all day about this (pros vs. cons in a start-up where you have no idea of where the design is going) but yeah, many pages are "one off" within their product areas.
