      It’s effectively an alternative to plain CSS. Works well with component-based systems like React and Svelte.

      I used it for a few years and thought it was pretty good. I still use it on some of my projects.

      It’s not particularly bad value for what they’re offering, which seems to be a component library and set of templates.

      For a comparison, the company I work for are paying over a £1000 / year for MUI-X, which is a set of paid React components. It’s cheaper and more efficient than paying someone at our company to maintain our own component library.

      Even a single engineer spending 10% of their time (as I used to) maintaining this stuff would cost the company over £5000 / year in manpower.

          I thought CSS was for things like layout and fonts. How would genuine programming features factor in? Is this about replacing JavaScript?

            CSS is for StyleSheets (so yes layout and font but also more). Adding these features allows for more reactive/responsive styles where the style may be behaviorally defined instead of hardcoding styles.

            Basically the only thing I can think of to do with it is some kind of reactive layout that crunches some data and responds to it. IDK, I’m not a web dev and try to avoid CSS when I can.

    They say because of AI people stopped visiting their page and now they can’t sell them other services. I’ve been using tailwind for some time and I have no idea what other services they offer besides some component library. There are so many free alternatives that I never even considered checking it out. I think their business model is that that great to begin with and AI doesn’t have much to do with it.
