Framework author here, yep it is a joke. We literally had the music scored for us by a friend with the goal of making it as outrageous as possible. There's a real opera singer chanting "utility first" in Latin at the end. I

Framework author here, yep the whole point of the trailer is to be absolutely ridiculous. The music was custom scored for us by the best man at my wedding, and we had a professional opera singer record all of the chants at the end which are

We've tossed it around, but ultimately we believe that our customers buy Tailwind UI because Steve and I designed/built it, and we've built a lot of trust in our community over the last 4-5 years. I wouldn't want to be a

No plans to go the VC route. We've hired three people now — two developers focused almost entirely on open-source, and another who splits his time between our commercial projects and contributing in our OSS community by answering quest

This isn’t really what I was saying when I made that comment (in a personal conversation among a small group of friends). I love that other people are building things on top of Tailwind and I think it’s great. I was only describing my own e

I created Tailwind CSS in 2017 and earlier this year we released Tailwind UI which is a commercial set of prebuilt HTML components to help support continued work on the OSS. It’s done about $1.5m in revenue since releasing at the end of Feb

If I could bring one thing back it would be just plain old _websites_, when people would make a place on the internet dedicated to some topic that was organized in a way _other than_ chronological order, and just became a great resource whe

Is this country-specific perhaps? I'm in Canada and it's no problem for me to withdraw USD to a Canadian-based USD account.

Not true at all. You can build two sites that look completely different without changing the CSS at all if the API of the CSS framework is low level enough, like Tailwind, Tachyons, etc.

This approach is extremely seductive because on the surface it sounds so "pure" and "clean" but the reality is that on large projects it leads to some of the most horrific, hard to maintain CSS you'll ever see, no m

What you're hearing in that video is a space heater running in my office — I don't put a ton of effort into making everything perfect for ad hoc live streams. A proper screencast is probably the better thing to judge: https:&#x2F

A noise gate does not remove hiss or static, it simply reduces the volume of the signal when it gets below a certain level. As a professional audio engineer in a past life, I can say the SM7B + Triton Fethead is a great recommendation. The

They are milled from solid blocks of aluminum, not created with a mould. In another thread another HN user pointed out that to buy a block of aluminum to mill something the size of the stand would cost $1400 from consumer facing suppliers.

Author here — a common question I’ve seen in the comments that I didn’t cover in the article is how you do responsive design with this approach. Here’s a link to the responsive design guide in the Tailwind CSS docs that covers it in detail:

Scoped styles and SCSS do not prevent you from having to come up with unnecessary names for things like utilities do. That's the main benefit in my opinion. Wasting brain cycles to name arbitrary wrapper divs that only exist to be a ta

Creator of Tailwind here, that's exactly what I would recommend too. Here are the markdown styles for my own personal website for example: https://gist.github.com/adamwathan/d257699f16ec7cc1b002b5fb7...

You can invoke an anonymous function assigned to an instance property using `__invoke()`: class Foo { public $var; } $foo = new Foo(); $foo->bar = function() { echo "Hello World\n"; }; $foo->bar

Borders still affect the positioning of things even with box-sizing set to border-box. For example, here "Block 1" is still two pixels taller than "Block 2": <div style="padding: 8px; border: 1px solid black&quot

Yep 100% agree, this is how both Vue.js and Laravel have succeeded with "donations" on Patreon which are actually companies paying for advertising space on the project's respective websites. Both are doing 6 figures annually
