I thought most of the major CSS frameworks included the ability to ship only what you absolutely need, if you desired. I'm not sure how this is an improvement.
This is for ruby on rails.
Not a fanboy for Tailwind, but I grudgingly respect that putting up with the ugly has serious upsides.
This loses out on TW’s tree shaking…I think in this case style=“” is a better approach…

I didn’t realize why some people are so venomously opposed to tailwindcss until I tried to use it. I would never willingly inflict this bullshit on junior engineers. It is by far the worst part of learning Phoenix and the moment I find someone with more experience to help me do it there will be PRs to turn that trainwreck entirely off.
The problem I have with tailwind is that it has the ergonomics of a rusty marine mine. How the fuck is anyone supposed to learn to use this monstrosity when it generates all of its rules from functions? It doesn’t tree shake so much as it depth first searches. I spend all my goddamned time on Google because the documentation is arranged terribly as well. And all my evenings are punctuated by closing dozens of browser tabs I won’t need again for a week.
I don’t see why a similar tool could not have been made on the back of Less or SCSS, which are code generators that people actually understand. Probably the only two that don’t stab you in the back at the first opportunity.
Another arrogant architectural astronaut brings his abomination into the mainstream.

There was a time when people believed in https://smacss.com
But that time is gone.

Meh... css has an ergonomics of rusty marine mine.
But at least you can look at it before you run the code. Tailwind is FAFO.
Most of the classes just make sense. Like px-4 or color-whatever or grid, flex etc.
For the rest there is a plugin that provides intellisense. Granted, some things could have been better - especially text style selector (if i could visually see the preview of the test and font-size).
And I don't have to jump between css and component files.
But, do you prefer potato or potato?

This is sooo good. Thanks bro! Made my day!
Not to mention that if I really want a "no build" tailwind I could simply add this single line:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>
