Tailwind CSS
Utility-first CSS framework for building custom UIs fast.
About Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that lets developers build custom user interfaces by composing small, single-purpose utility classes directly in HTML markup. Rather than writing custom CSS, developers combine classes like flex, pt-4, and text-center to construct any design without leaving the markup file. Its Just-in-Time compiler scans your HTML and generates only the CSS classes actually used, keeping production stylesheets extremely small. Tailwind is framework-agnostic and works with React, Vue, plain HTML, and any other templating system. It has become the dominant CSS approach for new web projects, especially among developers who prefer not to context-switch between HTML and stylesheet files.
