Leaving Tailwind and Learning CSS Structure

Julia Evans
Read original

EDITOR BRIEF

The author describes migrating a couple of sites from Tailwind to semantic HTML and plain CSS. They explain that Tailwind helped them build small sites and also taught them useful ideas like resets, color palettes, font scales, and other systems for keeping CSS organized. They then begin outlining the parts of their CSS they want to structure, including components, spacing, responsive design, and the build process.

INSIGHTS

This is useful because CSS gets messy without clear rules, and beginners can borrow the idea of small systems to stay organized. A good next step is to practice separating reset, layout, and component styles in a simple project.
