You have to do literally everything from scratch with Tailwind though, for example I never realised how much work is involved in a simple avatar dropdown / logout component (hidden full-screen button). Tailwind is much closer to raw CSS than Bootstrap. That's not a criticism, it's just a different value proposition.
- drusepth 5y agoMy favorite thing about Tailwind is all the sites that offer copy-and-paste components, ready to use (since you already have all the CSS, you just copy HTML-and-classes and it looks exactly how you'd expect). Sure, you can pay for TailwindUI, but you can also just browse (free) components from e.g. * https://tailblocks.cc https://tailblocks.cc * https://blocks.wickedtemplates.com https://blocks.wickedtemplates.com * https://tailwindcomponents.com/ https://tailwindcomponents.com/ * https://merakiui.com/ https://merakiui.com/ * https://www.tailwind-kit.com/ https://www.tailwind-kit.com/ * https://www.tailwindtoolbox.com/ https://www.tailwindtoolbox.com/ Most of the sites I put together this year used an amalgamation of components from those sites for basic structure, and then just get customized to the brand and site function. I hate writing raw CSS and I would also hate writing raw Tailwind.
- hbn 5y agoThat's a bit of an odd criticism. I wouldn't expect any library/framework to offer copy-paste-able usage of itself as a feature. Tailwind is just a different way of writing CSS styles. Not a bunch of premade UI templates.
