Tailwind gives you almost all of the upside of a design system with almost none of the downside. I will not be taking questions.
- qkeast 3y agoI think Tailwind is phenomenal for implementing a design system on the engineering side, but it can't inherently solve many of the other reasons a design system exists: capturing and defining the patterns a specific product uses, creating consistency across the product, accelerating the design team and engineering team...
- ethanbond 3y agoBut most design systems fail to actually solve those problems too, and consume a fuckton of time and energy in doing so
- psygn89 3y agoI think you're mixing design system with css frameworks.
- danielvaughn 3y agoThere's Tailwind as a technology, but then there's Tailwind as a set of reasonable defaults. The original comment is referring to the latter, not the former.
- k__ 3y agoTailwind allows you to build a design system, but it certainly doesn't come with one out of the box. Bootstrap on the other hand does.

- robertlagrant 3y agoTailwind allows you to create a component library whose spec is a design system.
- nsonha 3y agosorry, Tailwind is the opposite of the design system concept. Design system is built around your product, not some generic style framework that helps you avoid building such a thing.
