The big advantage of tailwind for me is that it solves responsive design better than any system I've used before. I'm not amazing at frontend styling (I get by), but I feel like a superhero with tailwind css and UI (worth the money)



That's interesting, I love Tailwind but I think Tailwind's responsive stuff is the messiest part. Do you have any good resources to share about doing effective and maintainable responsive design on a non-toy website using Tailwind?


Not really any advice here. I am using it for my product and it has been basically changing up the design as needed. It's pretty common for me to make use of grid-cols-1 and then something like md:grid-cols-2 or 3 to keep it single column on mobile and multi-column on desktop


Ok that's what I'm doing too! It always works but also feels a bit messy and when I want to make a change it ends up being hard to untangle all the nested selectors.


Ya I don't know how that will work out exactly. Changes so far haven't been bad for me but no experience with maintenance over time.

I will say that maintenance of hand rolled Sass has not been great overtime. It's really hard to tell what's in use and what's not.


What other frameworks have you tried?


Bootstrap 3, Sass, styled-components. I am sure there's more but that's the last few years of stuff

Before Tailwind with PostCSS, I'd probably hand roll some Sass-powered UI, or find a template to base it off of.
