Tailwind CSS VS flowbite

Having said that, I do still far and away prefer Tailwind as my styling solution for side projects. I've been using it professionally for around three years now, and I find it strikes a nice balance between useful default utility classes and a pleasant developer experience when it comes to expanding its base capabilties (which we cover in detail below). I'm not suggesting that beginners should build with Tailwind straight away - definitely go learn CSS first! But as someone who is very comfortable with how CSS itself works, Tailwind is a productivity boon for me, personally, as I understand what its utility classes are doing under the hood.

Tailwind CSS Documentation

I used Nextjs React framework along with TailwindCSS for the frontend. As the portfolio website consists of only one page, I split it into different components and combined them in page.tsx. Running npm run build generates an out folder, which I uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket. Initially, I encountered an issue with Next.js’s Image tag. After building, Next.js modifies the source URL as part of its optimization process, causing errors when the out folder is uploaded to S3. Adding the unoptimized attribute to the Image tag resolved the issue.

TailwindCSS

About 3 years ago I came across Tailwind CSS, an awesome library for website development. To keep this article reasonable short, I won't waste words on introducing it. There are plenty of sources to learn from already. Instead, I want to share a story about a mistake I kept making in my early days with Tailwind. There is no need to fall into same pit as I do.

I used to be a Tailwind skeptic, but experience changed my mind. Pair it with shadcn/ui and you've got a styling powerhouse. AI tools can generate precise Tailwind classes, shadcn/ui gives you accessible components out of the box, your bundle stays optimized, and you can prototype and iterate quickly while keeping designs consistent.

We will start by creating a base template, and an index template that points to an index view, that will list the Todos we have in the database. We will use DaisyUI which is an extension of Tailwind CSS, to make the Todos decent-looking.

Flowbite

Tailwind CSS handles the styling in this project, which speeds up the development of clean and responsive UIs. This project also uses Flowbite for pre-built UI components like modals, tooltips, and buttons. Flowbite integrates well with Tailwind and helps you avoid reinventing the wheel for common UI elements.

// set up custom event listeners for the buttons document.getElementById('toggleLinkButton').addEventListener('click', () => { const url = window.prompt('Enter image URL:', 'https://flowbite.com'); editor.chain().focus().toggleLink({ href: url }).run(); });

Flowbite Svelte is an open-source UI library built with Svelte components and Tailwind CSS. It provides over 58 UI components and interactive elements built with Svelte and Flowbite. It comes with well-organized documentation, where you can see the code sample and preview the components for responsive sizes: desktop, tablet and smartphone. You can also switch light/dark modes and RTL/LTR text direction. The code looks quite straightforward and the components are styled very neat.
