Why don’t we talk about minifying CSS anymore?
There are a number of tools available to minify CSS in development or as part of your build pipeline including, but not limited to, cssnano and Vite.

Classic Themes with Block Patterns in WordPress
For the sake of simplicity, my example setup uses a single-file plugin and puts all styles directly into a single style.css file without using further theme.css or theme.json files, which we might want to use depending on the requirements for customizability. Likewise, SASS / SCSS support can be added if it makes life easier for the developer(s) involved. But as we already use PostCSS to control autoprefixing and cssnano minification, we can also use it to support the latest and even upcoming CSS sytax like native CSS nesting.

Where do custom CSS files go in Rails app ?
You can import custom CSS files from your application.tailwind.css file using postcss-import. After installing the package, you need to add it to your postcss.config.js, in the order specified in the docs. If you're using the Tailwind CLI for compilation (with cssbundling-rails you'd find this in your package.json), you might need to add the --postcss argument, which tells Tailwind to pick up your postcss.config.js.
