Tailwind CSS

CSS Framework

What is Tailwind CSS?

To help users construct apps more quickly and easily, Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework. Utility classes allow you to customize a component's style without ever leaving your HTML or creating a single line of unique CSS. They can modify the layout, color, spacing, design, shadows & others.

The best part about Tailwind is that it doesn't impose design standards or a predetermined aesthetic on your website; instead, you can combine little parts to create a unique user experience. Tailwind takes a "raw" CSS file, processes it through a configuration file, and outputs the results.

Tailwind CSS doesn't provide any pre-built components; you must instead create your own from scratch. They merely give you the resources to complete it swiftly and easily.

Additionally, responsive designs are simple with Tailwind CSS because it takes care of all the media queries; all you need to do is place the breakpoint you want to target in front of the class you're using.
