Tailwind meets AI headwind

"But the nature of web design has changed since CSS was first built. Most frameworks, whether it be Angular, React, or Astro, have become component-based. But even those components were designed to separate CSS and HTML. For instance, in Angular, a component consists of three files: a TypeScript file, an HTML file, and a CSS file. But those components are becoming more and more granular."

"At the same time, the look and feel of websites have become more standardized. Button colors, for example, have standardized so that blue means "you can trust this button" and red means "be careful when pushing this one." So the need for customized colors has been reduced. Now here is where Tailwind shines. If you want standardized colors, Tailwind can define them. And if your colors and shapes are standardized, then Tailwind's small utility classes that define those styles are useful."

Web design has evolved since CSS was created, shifting toward component-based frameworks such as Angular, React, and Astro. Components historically separated TypeScript, HTML, and CSS into distinct files, but components are now becoming more granular and compact. Visual patterns across websites have become standardized; conventions like blue signaling trust and red signaling caution have reduced the need for bespoke color systems. Tailwind enables standardized palettes and concise utility classes that express common colors, spacing, and shapes. When visual patterns are consistent and components are self-contained, small utility classes can replace separate CSS files, simplifying development and maintenance.
