Tailwind CSS: A CSS Framework for Faster Website Styling
Tailwind CSS, created by Adam Wathan in 2017, aims to simplify website styling by providing a low-level abstraction over CSS properties. Unlike traditional frameworks with pre-styled components, Tailwind offers numerous classes for individual CSS properties, allowing for quick and customized styling. By combining these utility classes, developers can style elements efficiently, such as creating a blue link with specific properties using a series of classes. Tailwind's approach focuses on speed and flexibility in custom designs, making it a popular choice for developers seeking a faster styling workflow.
