About

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows developers to build custom designs without leaving their HTML. Instead of pre-styled components, it provides low-level utility classes to build your own designs. These utility classes help in keeping the styling and structure in one place, making it more maintainable and easy to refactor.

A utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup. — https://tailwindcss.com/

How to get started

1. Setup

To start using Tailwind CSS, you can include it via CDN or set it up using npm/yarn. Here, we’ll use the CDN for simplicity:

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Tailwind CSS Example</title>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss@2.2.15/dist/tailwind.min.css"…
