Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
Anyone using Tailwind CSS ?

Using it on a few projects. Not a JetBrains fan for precisely that reason, so I stick to the now-abundant vscode with tailwind intellisense and headwind installed. I dev in vue, so vite is now my go to build tool. Super fast. Works for other frameworks too which is a nice plus.
I've used utility frameworks inspired by Tailwind for some projects, and it's okay. I don't think it materially improved my workflow, and constantly consulting a cheat sheet was rather tiresome.
It's so easy to just create your own utility classes as you go, so these days I prefer just doing that.

I would greatly appreciate it if you guys can explain step by step how to get this working without a framework or special requirement
I want to use it on a simple native PHP app, no framework or special JS plugins.

On windows you need to use the “set” syntax
“set TAILWIND_MODE=build && set NODE_ENV=production && postcss …”
use cross-env - https://www.npmjs.com/package/cross-env

I've used Tailwind.
It has it's place, some people swear by it and I get the hype, but it's not for me. I've tried it multiple times, but I get kinda annoyed by the prebuilds before you can start using it for most part.
And If I'm gonna be dealing with pre defined classes, I'd rather use a css framework where the components have already been designed for us, eg Bulma or Bootstrap. At least, you can ship super quickly then with little guess work.
Lately I've been having a lot of fun designing on Figma and then writing CSS from scratch (which is new to me) on my React Apps with Styled Components.
I'm a terrible designer, having fun and learning one step at a time.
