Let's Build: with Tailwind CSS - Dribbble Shot

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a Product Designer at Dribbble. For fun, I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional vlog.

====================

Next up in my Let's Build with Tailwind CSS series is a Dribbble Shot component

I reached for the CDN version of Tailwind CSS for this build once again. In future parts of the series, I will leverage more tooling to customize and extend Tailwind further. You can find the complete concept on CodePen https://codepen.io/webcrunchblog/pen/bJZYgO

By day I work at Dribbble, we currently don't make use of Tailwind CSS or any type of CSS framework for that matter but they are certainly on our radar.

Why choose Tailwind?

I keep getting asked this and for me, it boils down to:

• Scalability by default - One of the hardest things to do well with CSS.
• A lot of work done for you in terms of naming selectors
• It's highly customizable and extendable.
• It's very fast to use and code with
• You can bundle all the utility-first classes into a component using Post-CSS @apply statements.

Most look at the framework and hate it at first. It resembles writing inline CSS which I realize is a huge turn-off. After some time with Tailwind you start to realize how much faster you can work. No longer are you naming selectors, adding new stylesheets or partials if you're using SASS/LESS, or spending time hunting down files and CSS you wrote once before. Instead, you're building that feature UI in real-time with little cognitive load on your mind.
