Hijacking CSS with tailwindCSS
summary
Claims that Tailwind is a productive utility‑first way to “hijack CSS” with concrete tooling: uses PostCSS + purge to remove unused classes, a VSCode class autocomplete extension, responsive prefixes and pseudo‑class prefixes, and a simple signup form demo built with composed atomic classes that renders, is responsive, and keeps error messages from shifting using absolute positioning for errors. Notes tradeoffs: needs CSS familiarity and CDN versus npm limits customization.
