What is Tailwind CSS?
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that lets you style websites by adding pre-built classes directly to your HTML.
Instead of writing custom CSS files, you compose designs using classes like flex, pt-4, text-center, and bg-blue-500 right in your markup. Tailwind scans your files, generates only the CSS you actually use, and keeps your stylesheets tiny.
Most modern web apps use it because it's faster than writing CSS from scratch and more flexible than component libraries like Bootstrap. You get responsive design built in (add md: or lg: prefixes), dark mode support, and complete control over spacing, colors, and typography.
It's free and open source. Works with React, Vue, Next.js, or plain HTML. The official docs are exceptional.
