The Power of Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows you to build custom designs without ever leaving your HTML. It provides low-level utility classes that let you build completely custom designs.

Why Tailwind?

• No more naming classes
• Consistent design system
• Responsive design made easy
• Dark mode support

Tailwind's philosophy is different from traditional CSS frameworks like Bootstrap. Instead of pre-designed components, Tailwind provides utility classes that you can combine to create any design.

Basic Example

<!-- Traditional CSS approach -->
<div class="chat-notification">
  <div class="chat-notification-logo-wrapper">
    <img class="chat-notification-logo" src="/img/logo.svg" alt="ChitChat Logo">
  </div>
  <div class="chat-notification-content">
    <h4 class="chat-notification-title">ChitChat</h4>
    <p class="chat-notification-message">You have a new message!</p>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Tailwind approach -->
<div class="p-6 max-w-sm mx-auto bg-white rounded-xl shadow-md flex items-center space-x-4">
  <div class="flex-shrink-0">
    <img class="h-12 w-12" src="/img/logo.svg" alt="ChitChat Logo">
  </div>
  <div>
    <div class="text-xl font-medium text-black">ChitChat</div>
    <p class="text-gray-500">You have a new message!</p>
  </div>
</div>
