Tailwind Part 2
I’ve been working in a tailwind environment for a couple of weeks on this Clojure project. I have some more opinions about it, and I figured I’d share.
Firstly, Tailwind is pretty powerful. One of the reasons we are using it is because of its plugins like DaisyUI, which should allow us to theme our app more easily. Looking at the documentation, there are classes for everything you need to style your front end....

Since the beginning of my coaching experience, I have had a certification attached to my name. Initially, it was AACCA (American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators).
