Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that enables building custom, responsive user interfaces directly in markup. It provides low-level utility classes for rapid UI development without writing traditional CSS.
What is it?
Tailwind CSS is a modern CSS framework focused on utility classes rather than prebuilt components. It allows developers to style interfaces by composing small, single-purpose classes directly in HTML or JSX templates.
What does it do?
Tailwind CSS provides utilities for layout, spacing, typography, colors, responsiveness, and states. Its JIT compiler generates optimized CSS bundles, enabling highly customized designs with minimal unused styles.
Where is it used?
Tailwind CSS is widely used in modern web applications, SaaS platforms, dashboards, design systems, landing pages, and frontend projects that require rapid iteration and consistent UI patterns.
When & why it emerged
Tailwind CSS was released in 2017 to offer an alternative to component-heavy CSS frameworks. It emerged to improve maintainability and flexibility by encouraging design systems and utility-based styling.
