tailwindcss-jit VS makesite

I found this GitHub issue where someone wants to use CSS variables for padding, like so: p-[var(--app-padding)]

Just cruised the JIT docs & code on GitHub (merged into main branch).

> add non-default variations (mostly different heights/widths than what it ships with).

Check out https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-jit. It got released 3 weeks ago, and supports variable variables in width and height now.

About two weeks ago, Adam Wathan announced a new Tailwind experiment: Just-In-Time. In this article, I'll tell you what it's all about, and how you can take advantage of it.

In the latest Storybook update, we finally got support for PostCSS 8. So, to celebrate this occasion, I've put together a React Storybook environment that includes everyone's favourite utility-first CSS framework: TailwindCSS. The environment also utilizes the TailwindCSS JIT compiler & Webpack 5 to bring the build times as close to instant as possible. And to top it off, the repo includes a simple GitHub action that deploys the Storybook to GitHub pages every time something is pushed.

It’s not a setup issue. The JIT works differently: there’s no “purging”. And the issue I described is a known problem: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-jit/issues/71

Sidestepping the broader conversation, this "JIT tool" is apparently a postcss plugin, which means you have to spawn postcss process (e.g. at every save events or have build tool do the same).

Enter @tailwindcss/jit, a drop-in replacement (though not with 100% feature parity yet) that collects the classes used by your files and only generates the requested classes.

Thank you for sharing the link to the source code. My simple site generator is based on my wife's project makesite.py[1]. In fact, I used her site generator for a few years before I went all in on Common Lisp for my personal projects. Then I reimplemented makesite.py in Common Lisp.

I ended up using the developer-focused https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite , but I heard Hugo and Jekyll have plenty of themes that I assume can be dropped in. Good luck!

I've been using makesite.py, which is ~200 lines of python, dumping the picture in a pics folder and then hand editing the markdown.

Maybe a few lines of code and template work would let you add a custom template that would automatically add a folder worth of images.
