Tailwind CSS
Utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development
Overview
Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS introduces a utility-first approach to styling that emphasizes composition over inheritance. Instead of writing custom CSS classes, developers apply predefined utility classes directly in HTML, creating maintainable, responsive designs with rapid development cycles.
Utility-First Philosophy
Every utility class maps to a specific CSS property, creating a direct relationship between your HTML and styling. This approach eliminates the need for naming classes and reduces CSS bundle sizes through purging unused styles.
