yeah I was going to say this. AI is incredibly good at writing tailwind. Part of it is probably exactly the colocation issue. Context windows are precious.

- hombre_fatal 1y agoAlso, Tailwind is included in Claude's artifact/preview system and Claude is prompted to use it by default. Hard to beat that compared to "oops, pls implement it in Bootstrap" and then copying the output to JSFiddle with Bootstrap loaded just to see it. :( I don't use Tailwind but what usually happens is that it creates a great Tailwind mockup that I'm happy with, and then I tell it to port it to Bootstrap (which involves a mix of Bootstrap classes and custom CSS) and it always looks worse, heh. So Tailwind + LLM support is pretty big advantage.
- nicce 1y agoAI was incredibly bad when Tailwind v4.0 was released. All the models trying force me to use the config file I did not want to and so on, every time.
- iambateman 1y agoUse Context7 or another documentation MCP server for that. Then you can say "Tailwind4 has major changes, please review using context7" and it'll sort out some of that.
