People still complain about the tailwind build process and I agree and would not use it bc of that except.. Tailwind has had a stand alone executable builder available for a long time. (Including at the writing of this article)You can just drop the exe and either add it to your path or run it directly. No node or npm/npx needed.

- hu3 2y agoIsn't that still a build step?
- crowcroft 2y agoYea, the standalone tool is nice, but I want to be able to throw a script in my app's head tag and call it a day.
- cporrast 2y agoyou can do that as well, just include Tailwind through their CDN [0] [0] https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation/play-cdn https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation/play-cdn
- citizenpaul 2y agoSure but I've seen people complaining not that there is any build step but that they think it requires the whole node/npm ecosystem to be installed for it to work. At this point I don't think anyone doing anything beyond a landing page is working without some sort of build process anymore.
