Working with Tailwind CSS every day for 2 years | Nov 2022

Haven't seen it mentioned, but if you like Tailwind, maybe take a look at UnoCSS: https://github.com/unocss/unocss

It is like the next evolution of Tailwind. See this blog post for full explanation: https://antfu.me/posts/reimagine-atomic-css

Ask HN: What's is your go to toolset for simple front end development? | Jul 2022

For those recommending Tailwind, it's huge if you're using it from the CDN (318K uncompressed).

Other tools (except for Tachyons, these are maybe out of scope for a home lab):

- Tachyons [0] is a small (16K-ish) utility class framework.

- DaisyUI [1] is a free and open source component lib for Tailwind.

- WindiCSS [2] is built on Tailwind with some additional features.

- UnoCSS [3], an interesting on-demand atomic CSS engine that supports Tailwind CSS, WindiCSS, Bootstrap, and Tachyons.

Tailwind's implementation is a total mess. I have a custom preset for UnoCSS [1] focused on Tailwind compatability and use that for my company's low code platform. It's a couple orders of magnitude better for both size and latency and switching has allowed me to delete all the supporting code I'd written to work around Tailwind-the-implementation's shortcomings. I have minor complaints about Uno but I recommend it if you're having trouble with Tailwind.

If you mean build your own design system then I've built four separate design systems in SCSS since 2009. I've been fine with switching to Tailwind instead because I can get similar results customizing the theme, it's more comprehensive than my systems, and the network effect advantages of somethign popular vs my one-off thing.
