    Curb Climate Change

    Use Tailwind as a utility class and create CSS classes looking at the overall design and standardizing components.

    Point No. 1 is more straightforward than 2 in the short term, but Point No. 2 would be the ideal approach and more easily maintainable.

    Here are few examples from our website that uses Tailwind. Please be lenient; it is not a public consumable template/markup.

    The general UI is driven by design token at the Tailwind configuration level -- https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/blob/master/ta...

    Color Scheme follow a similar pattern https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/blob/master/ta...

    Then, we write CSS but using Tailwind as a utility - https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/tree/master/sr...

    For instance, for a button, instead of apply everything in each and every ``, we create a `.button` class and create the button component of our choice https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/blob/master/sr...

    I hope this is useful to few who wants to use Tailwind in either of the two ways.

  • Bourbon

    A Lightweight Sass Tool Set

    Tailwind is written in SASS and is not like SASS. I would equate Tailwind to an earlier utility framework like Bourbone[1].

    Tailwind can be used to build/write "StyledComponents". And one can write in the style/methodology/philosophy of BEM.

    All the the above terms are all of different categories.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • UI kit

    A lightweight and modular front-end framework for developing fast and powerful web interfaces

    Not sure if it matches your criteria of a mature component framework, but there's Foundation and UIkit. I've used both but all of my new projects use Tailwind. It matches my needs better because I use minimal JavaScript. It also doesn't get in my way and the documentation is refreshingly clear.

    > And why aren't there more?

    It seems to me these tightly coupled CSS + JS component frameworks are in an awkward position these days. React/Vue allows you more flexibility. If a project is really simple you can use vanilla JavaScript or something like Alpine.js.

    Perhaps the demand isn't there anymore.

  • Foundation

    The most advanced responsive front-end framework in the world. Quickly create prototypes and production code for sites that work on any kind of device.
