burr VS Tailwind CSS

Burr is a lightweight python library you use to build applications as state machines. You construct your application out of a series of actions (these can be either decorated functions or objects), which declare inputs from state, as well as inputs from the user. These specify custom logic (delegating to any framework), as well as instructions on how to update state. State is immutable, which allows you to inspect it at any given point. Burr handles orchestration, monitoring and persistence.

Nice, looking forward to seeing that! Someone else pointed me towards https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/burr/ which also seems related in case you're curious.

Lastly, Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center, and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup.

Tailwind CSS

Sidekiq is already configured along with assets, tailwindsCSS.

Finally, for our front end, we’re going to be pairing Next.js with the great combination of TailwindCSS and shadcn/ui so we can focus on building the functionality of the app and let them handle making it look awesome!

You can use any frontend framework you want — react-based tooling, however, has a natural advantage as it models everything as a function of state, which can map 1:1 with the concept in Burr. In the demo app we use react, react-query, and tailwind, but we’ll be skipping over this largely (it is not central to the purpose of the post).

First, you need to make sure that you have a working Tailwind CSS project…

With better CSS approaches like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract (which we're heavily using) it's much easier to maintain the UI and make sure it doesn't change unexpectedly. No more conflicting CSS classes, much less CSS specificity issues and much less CSS code in general.
