  • Show HN: Flowbite – Tailwind CSS Components Library [MIT License]

    Tailwind is written in SASS and is not like SASS. I would equate Tailwind to an earlier utility framework like Bourbone[1].

    Tailwind can be used to build/write "StyledComponents". And one can write in the style/methodology/philosophy of BEM.

    All the the above terms are all of different categories.
