It seems proprietary because there are ad links disguised as documentation links. You can't click "Components" anywhere on TailwindCSS.com or you'll end up on TailwindUI.com pricing page.
It's fine that they want to make money but it's very confusing for a new user. Ultimately, they might make more money by dropping the shady links if it's turning away enough new users.
s/Components/Tailwind UI/g
across their site would be a big improvement.
- yurishimo 5y agoI can maybe see how that could potentially be confusing to a brand new visitor, but how is it shady? It's a clearly labeled link that does take you to components made with tailwind. Are they supposed to link to all the freeware out there first?
- staunch 5y agoIt's an ad designed not to look like an ad. It looks like internal site navigation but is an external link. Not a big deal but a bit shady/confusing.
- yurishimo 5y agoGotcha. Yeah, phrased like that, I can see your perspective better (and I even agree!). Maybe a little external site icon and moving that link to the end of the nav could clear that up.
