pwa-module VS Tailwind CSS

My go-to is https://pwa.nuxtjs.org/ + pwabuilder. You can have the barebones scaffolding made in 1 minute. Then just add your custom UI/logic, and deploy, and point the PWA Builder at the deployed Nuxt site, and it will generate your App store package.

In terms of stack I would recommend taking a look at Vue and Nuxt. There is a PWA module for Nuxt, which handles everything for you, so you literally only need to add 5 lines of config (implementing service workers yourself can be tedious).

Note that if your original project is built with Nuxt (a Vue meta-framework), you have a better-suited solution readily available in the Nuxt PWA module. Nuxt and its ecosystem of plugins are a bit much to tackle in the scope of this post, but the same PWA general principles we’ll cover here apply there, too. The difference is how the config options are entered. So, while the concepts translate, if you’re using Nuxt, I’ll refer you to the Nuxt PWA module docs for the details.

The stack behind Journalistic is Django and Nuxt. The nuxt/pwa module takes care of everything PWA-related on the app side: manifest, service worker, etc. Easy peasy.

It's Nuxt.js with @nuxtjs/pwa, BTW.

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…

Tailwind CSS

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.
