Tailwind CSS
A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces.
The Utility-First Workflow
Tailwind CSS takes a different approach than traditional frameworks like Bootstrap. Instead of predefined components, it provides low-level utility classes like flex, pt-4, and text-center.
This allows you to build completely custom designs without ever leaving your HTML. It eliminates the need to invent class names, reduces CSS bundle size, and makes your codebase more maintainable.
Just-In-Time (JIT) Engine
Tailwind's JIT engine generates your styles on-demand as you author your templates. This means your CSS builds are lightning-fast and identical in development and production. It also enables arbitrary values like w-[17px].
Industry Adoption
Tailwind CSS is used by industry leaders like OpenAI, Shopify and Netflix. It has become the de-facto standard for modern web development due to its flexibility and developer experience.
