  • Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

    Tailwind is a styling framework which provides bitesize classes which allow you to style your HTML entities without having to maintain a separate stylesheet. In this article, I'll discuss how the functional CSS ideology can improve productivity and consolidate the styling approach across a front-end team.

  • PostCSS

    Transforming styles with JS plugins

    With the pre-processors, you can shrink your CSS and increase reuse through variables. In almost all working cases, it will be an improvement above vanilla CSS. There are also implementations now, via PostCSS, that add vendor prefixes for you. The major drawback is, of course, that you have to compile your CSS beforehand; usually done via part of your tooling such as Grunt or Gulp.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • normalize.css

    A modern alternative to CSS resets

    Rather than providing off-the-shelf components like Bootstrap and Semantic UI, Tailwind merely provides the small building blocks to assist in building your own components. Much like Normalize.css, Tailwind strips out the default styling browsers apply to all elements, such as buttons, input fields and more.
