USERSCRIPTS manager based on Stylus? #1816

I am just wondering if someone tried to make a userscripts manager that is based on stylus, as for the moment it is way better in terms of GUI and other aspects with few exceptions for some features and interactions that most userscripts manager I've tried (ViolentMonkey, TamperMonkey, ScriptCat)...

I guess this can be forked and modified to make one instead of starting from scratch like all userscripts manager do... I wish if I can do this myself and add some features that I like from here and there but I am not proficient in coding and I didn't get the opportunity yet to make a workflow with the help of AI (LLMs) to get near to what it takes to handle such project + I am looking for a job for the moment and it is my priority.

I really think that aspiring coding superstars should try their skills to make something like this possible instead of making an Nth calculator or notepad... Of course I am open to collaboration if someone is willing to get this started.

I guess you mean the ability to configure the styles dynamically, the live preview, and that disabling a style removes its effects from the page(s)? None of that would work for JS, which produces non-revertible side affects when it runs. Only CSS allows that, because it's just inert text.

No actually, I mean using the source code of Stylus as a base to develop a userscripts manager like (ViolentMonkey, TamperMonkey, ScriptCat) and maybe have one that works for both userstyles and userscripts!

I understand that. My objection is that it's useless due to the reasons I cited.
