Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework that comes with pre-defined classes, making it faster and easier to write and maintain code for modern websites. The article highlights the issues faced with using Bootstrap and how Tailwind CSS addresses those issues. The content also mentions the key features of Tailwind CSS, such as its JIT compiler, which compiles styles on-demand, resulting in smaller CSS bundle sizes and faster load times. The article concludes with how Softobiz has adopted Tailwind CSS as its preferred CSS framework for web development projects.
Trial
In 2016, Softobiz was using Bootstrap for its web development projects. While Bootstrap provided a wide range of UI components, it was found to be inefficient and had loopholes when custom styles were added on top of it. As a result, the codebase became complicated and added unnecessary weight to projects.
Assess
To address these issues, Softobiz decided to trial Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework that comes with pre-defined classes. By using these classes, developers can quickly build modern websites without leaving HTML and avoid writing custom CSS code. Tailwind CSS has a vast range of utility classes that handle padding, margin, color, font, shadow, and more, making it fast and efficient to write and maintain code. Its just-in-time (JIT) compiler also allows for on-demand compilation of styles, resulting in a smaller CSS bundle size and faster load times.
Adopt
After trialing Tailwind CSS, Softobiz found it to be faster and easier to write and maintain code. It also resulted in smaller CSS bundle sizes and eliminated the need to write custom CSS styles. As a result, Softobiz decided to fully adopt Tailwind CSS for its web development projects. Tailwind CSS has since become one of the most prominent CSS frameworks within two years of its release, thanks to its utility-first approach, pre-defined classes, and JIT compiler.
In conclusion, Softobiz has found Tailwind CSS to be an effective solution to address the issues faced with Bootstrap. Its vast range of utility classes and JIT compiler have helped in faster and more efficient development of modern websites. Tailwind CSS has proven to be a valuable addition to Softobiz’s web development toolkit.
