What is TailwindCSS?
Definition
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides low-level utility classes (flex, pt-4, text-center, rotate-90) instead of pre-designed components. You build custom designs by composing utility classes directly in HTML.
Why It Matters
Tailwind eliminates the need to write custom CSS for most layouts. Its JIT compiler generates only the CSS classes you use, resulting in tiny production bundles. It is one of the fastest-growing CSS frameworks, used by many startups and design systems.
