New comiCSS cartoon: Benefits of Using Tailwind
https://comicss.art/comics/193/
Countdown to someone writing a Medium article about how to achieve #apple Liquid Glass in #Tailwind, 1867 lines of #Typescript and a 6Mb sprite sheet.
3... 2... 1...
@benjamingeer It's one of the hills that I'll die on. Computers need to non-ltr scripts.
There has been massive improvements in the implementation of CSS's `direction: rtl`, and major CSS frameworks like #Tailwind have first-class CSS support, but many others don't.
I met someone who worked at Wikimedia who made this site: https://rtl.wtf/
Not really liking TailwindCSS. Seems to be a backwards step, undermining the purpose of CSS (separating styles from HTML). Perhaps I'm missing something. Early days.
Did you know that the #Django admin can be themed?!
Here are 10 packages for the Django admin which can transform it with a Dracula theme, #Bootstrap #CSS, #Tailwind, and more!

Thinking about the wasteful nature of #LLMs got me thinking about waste in my own development. While it can be convenient to use the large, enterprise-grade frameworks to deliver a minimalist website in 2025 - it's absurd.
Do I really need #laravel with #react, #jquery, #tailwind, #webFonts, #postgres to host some simple #markdown?
Do I need to re-render a bunch of static content at every hit? Does every simple article require 64 connections to the server to display?
I think not.
I want my material to be available to anyone who wants it - regardless of the device they are using or the robustness of their connection.
I want to respect users who disable #javascript for their personal protection.
I want to respect #ScreenReaders and users of assistive technology, without unnecessary complexity.
Everything we need is built into the HTML and CSS specs.
I've added a new card to the landing page of flathub.org yesterday, focused on games.
We have been trying to do this for quiet some time and I know that the results (as in what is in which category) are not perfect, but putting this out there hopefully helps us move things.
Is there something that allows you to group a bunch of #Tailwind classes together under a single name, so you can say, "This is my card style that I want to use everywhere in the application?" Or "this is my header style that I want to use everywhere?"
As it is, if using Tailwind, I have to make sure I apply those same styles everywhere, and if I change one place, I need to go update all the other places.
I'm sure folks who use Tailwind have a solution for this. What is it?

New note on Random Geekery:
Let's Try Tailwind
v1.0.0 of @ch-ui/tokens is out! My sweet bébé!
Been vetting this in production for a while and I think it’s ready for prime-time.
Use it to set up font ramps, color palettes, spacings, any set of tokens you want to use in a design system. Can be used with #Tailwind (@ch-ui/tailwind-tokens) and #Vite (@ch-ui/vite-plugin-tokens). It’s Just #CSS™.
Explainer here: https://ch-ui.dev/tokens
I’ve added a light/dark theme toggle to my Hugo + Tailwind CSS blog! The issue? Mermaid diagrams don’t support themes yet. After some digging, I found a CSS hack that works:
[data-theme='dark'] .mermaid {
filter: invert(0.85) hue-rotate(45deg);
}
It’s functional but feels hacky. Anyone know a better way? Details: https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/2644#issuecomment-2313201033
NextUI v2.6.0 https://nextui.org/blog/v2.6.0#built-in-validation
NextUI Now has automatic validation styles, and they're beautiful
My first technical article in 5 months is about my experience programming with an LLM for the first time
I talk about why using #tailwind as a one-man SaaS developer was the biggest mistake of my career, and how I worked with #Claude to finally implement dark mode many years after first giving up on the idea
