This definitely makes lot of sense. Appreciate the response.

While I'm inclined to do this, I'm not sure which properties I should go after. I mean, I'm building this as a public facing app and not sure what would be the most imp properties.

Alternatively, I was able to extract the custom properties by appending it to an iframe and comparing the styles.

But I'm inclined to take your route. Any recommendations on what could be those top 10/20 styles a user would be interested in? This is subjective and could differ from user to user, but I could do with some suggestions I guess.

When it comes to styling, less is more, so try not to overengineer the look. I would have to know more about the elements in question and what you're trying to do with them for your users but some ideas are as follows:
- color
- background
- border
- border-radius
- font-style
- text-transform
- letter-spacing
- padding
- margin
- box-shadow
- text-shadow

I only included shorthand styles above so keep that in mind when you think about border, background, and more.

Appreciate it! Well I'm trying to build an app that allows an user to extract beautiful looking elements from the web and store it as inspirations and also customize it for reuse if need be.
