  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
