I don’t know why more devs don’t use Tailwind 🤷♂️. It looks decent from the start so you don’t have to worry about the basics.

I started using it this year... there's no turning back. You can use it in your simplest project by loading it from the cdn, no excuses.
It’s great!
I absolutely love tailwind. I also don't understand why more people don't use it.
Right?! It’s a freaking shortcut!! Hundreds of premade components out there, themes, templates, you name it.
I dont know why i avoided it for so long, its very helpful.
My initial concern was that i was going to be importing a lot of CSS that i didnt need, and that writing the css myself would save on the bundle sizes
And then you found out it automatically leaves out any css you are not using? 🙂
Yes! There are also great components/examples built on top of it (like https://tailwindui.com/components/preview ) that make it so easy to whip up a web app/ website.
Yes, excellent too! Saves months of work if you tally up your projects
I like https://flowbite.com too
It's a game changer for sure.. I like it even better with daisy-ui. Still a struggle for me though to take a penpot or figma and turn it into tailwind.. 🦜 spend endless time on this type of stuff and usually have to timebox it or I'll endlessly be editing css.
TailwindCSS is awesome! But keep in mind you should also keep learning how to write CSS when you're a developer ;-)
It's usually the other way around. You go to tailwind after you've been writing css for a while. That's when you truly appreciate it.
lol this dude... I don't even .. sigh.
