Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows you to build custom user interfaces rapidly. Unlike traditional CSS frameworks, Tailwind doesn’t provide pre-built components.

Instead, it offers low-level utility classes that you can combine to create unique designs directly in your HTML. Here are the key points of Tailwind CSS:

  • Utility-first approach: Classes represent single-purpose styling options.

  • Highly customizable: Easy to adapt to your project’s specific design needs.

  • Responsive design: Built-in responsive modifiers for different screen sizes.

  • JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler: Generates styles on-demand, reducing file size.

  • Pseudo-class variants: Easy styling for hover, focus, and other states.

  • Dark mode support: Built-in classes for dark mode implementations.

  • Extensible: Can be easily extended with custom utilities and plugins.

Now, comparing it to Bootstrap is kind of like comparing a custom tailor to a department store. Bootstrap gives you ready-to-wear outfits – they look good, they’re easy to put on, but everyone might end up looking a bit similar. Tailwind, on the other hand, gives you the fabric and tools to make your own unique outfit.
