Been developing websites and apps since the days when we are worrying about the y2k bug. Tailwind is my favorite thing. Almost everything that I disliked about CSS is solved by it. Once you really kick the tires, you become way more productive:
Naming is hard. No more naming.
Switching between your markup and your CSS added friction to your flow. No more friction.
Avoiding problems caused by overly aggressive rules / cascade/ whatever is mostly a thing of the past.
I could go on, but if it’s not obvious, I absolutely love it. And the Tailwind UI project is 100% money we’ll spent, too.
- danielvaughn 4y agoI feel the same way about Tailwind, but haven't taken the plunge on Tailwind UI. Though I kinda want to buy it just to support the team. Do you feel like it constrains you too much, or no?
- pbowyer 4y ago> Though I kinda want to buy it just to support the team. That's kind but they have earned shedloads already (over $2m USD as of Jan 2021 [1]). That's on top of the $2.3m for the Refactoring UI ebook [2]. 1. https://www.smalltechbusiness.com/monetizing-open-source-tailwind/ https://www.smalltechbusiness.com/monetizing-open-source-tai... 2. https://twitter.com/adamwathan/status/1289702466754211842 https://twitter.com/adamwathan/status/1289702466754211842
- danielvaughn 4y agoHa, fair enough. Though now I'm aware of the book and kinda want to buy it :p
- christophilus 4y agoI don’t use anything other than the design ideas. When I’m building a feature, the first thing I do is find a design pattern from Tailwind UI. For that, it’s been well worth the few hundred bucks.
