Issue #135

Hello JavaScript fans, happy new year 2021 to all of you!

Our first newsletter of the year is about Twind, a library to integrate easily Tailwin CSS in any web application built with frameworks such as React, Vue or Svelte.

Tailwind CSS is a “utility-first” CSS framework that provides naming conventions to let developers style pages and components by composing class names.

According to the State of CSS beautiful report, it’s the CSS framework that has the highest ratio of satisfaction among the developers who made the survey.

Back to Twind, the main difference with using TailwindCSS directly is that you don’t have to process the class names at build time using PostCSS, the CSS code is generated at run time.

It works by providing a function tw() that lets developers handle class names easily using an intuitive syntax.

One more thing: next week, our annual Rising Stars will come back… I hope it makes you as excited as I am!
