Tailwind is overrated

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/webdev

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • emmet

    The essential toolkit for web-developers

    I absolutely hate it.. been using https://emmet.io/ forever and Tailwind is a huge step back when it comes to clean, maintainable code.

  • twin.macro

    🦹‍♂️ Twin blends the magic of Tailwind with the flexibility of css-in-js (emotion, styled-components, solid-styled-components, stitches and goober) at build time.

    My company uses Twin Macro, which uses babel to compile our tailwind into CSS classes with Emotion or Styled Components depending on the project. The class names look like .css-${uuid()}, whic h takes care of your dom element class names. You can also still give your components separate class names if you like for tagging, too.

  • 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.

  • Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

    The tailwind homepage has a great example of this with their demo. https://tailwindcss.com/
