Tailwind CSS Tips and Tricks

Why Tailwind CSS?

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows you to build designs directly in your markup without ever leaving your HTML.

Best Practices

  • Use @apply sparingly - only for truly repeated utility combinations
  • Organize classes consistently - group related utilities together
  • Leverage the config file - customize colors, spacing, etc.
  • Use JIT mode - for faster builds and smaller bundles

Pro Tips

hover:scale-105 transition-transform duration-300
