Top 4 Tailwind CSS alternatives for 2021
Windi CSS, in contrast to Tachyons, is a very fresh framework. Started in the late December of 2020, it’s already gained a lot of attention and currently sits at respectable 1.5K GitHub stars.

Just-In-Time: The Next Generation of Tailwind CSS
No mention of Windi CSS? Didn't it inspire this?

Ok fine… TailwindCSS rocks!
However I decided it was time to question my own biases. I installed Tailwind Intellisense for VS Code and started up a test project with a starter that included Tailwind (actually it uses Windi, which is a Tailwind compiler). I then started making a basic site, forcing myself to use the utility classes for (most) all of the styling.

Introduce svelte-windicss-preprocess, the best way to interact with svelte and tailwindcss.
You can check the README of windicss (https://github.com/voorjaar/windicss). Compared with postcss, it runs faster, can be built in real time and does not require plugins such as autoprefixer and purgecss to increase the complexity of configuration. And windicss extends the utilities and variants of tailwindcss. For example, you can directly use p-1.3rem or bg-hex-fff just like atomic css. And we also have a compilation mode, which can combine a line of classes into one to increase the readability of html.
- I built a new tailwindcss compiler with Typescript. It runs fast, can build css in real-time during development, well-matched with vue and svelte. Give it a try. If you like leave a star, or send some feedback if you find problems. Pull requests are most helpful.

How to Overcome Tailwind CSS Limitations with UnoCSS
As front-end development grows more complex, developers face increasing challenges with CSS frameworks. While Tailwind CSS has been a go-to solution for many teams, it comes with certain limitations that can impact development efficiency and performance. This guide explores how UnoCSS addresses these challenges and provides practical solutions with real-world examples.

Crosspost! Publishing to Dev.to From My Personal Blog
I'm also considering rewriting the application with a framework like Nuxt or adding UnoCSS styles, just to play around with the technology and see what I can do. Hexo feels like it's not quite ready for production use in an enterprise context, but it's really straightforward to get up and running with for smaller groups and solo developers.

I wish tailwind would support attributify like https://github.com/unocss/unocss, which is much more readable for complex layouts:

Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
I feel the same about people praising Tailwind.
Tailwind (and similar, I tend to use https://unocss.dev/) is not good for your frontend architecture BUT they allow you to be so fast, that it negates the benefits.
For a job well done, I'd follow the principles of https://maintainablecss.com/

What do you think we can do better to improve Vue position in the frontend space as a dominant UI framework?
I think UnoCss is may be better than Tailwind already and has a good Vue integration https://unocss.dev/
