Description
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows developers to rapidly build custom user interfaces directly in their markup without writing custom CSS. It provides low-level utility classes that can be composed to build any design, enabling a completely different way of styling that emphasizes speed, consistency, and customization. Unlike component-based frameworks, Tailwind encourages building unique designs without fighting against pre-defined styles.
