Hey! I’m a senior front-end developer looking for my next medium- to long-term freelance role.
I have 14 years of experience working along the full web development stack, usually with #JavaScript, #TypeScript, #ReactJS, #NextJS and #TailwindCSS. I often work with e-commerce and healthcare clients. Once, I helped turn a household appliance into a smart IoT prototype.
This 👇I'm not bashing #tailwindcss I get why it saves CSS devs time & is a great choice for making a component library with. But handing it to a backend dev and not hiring a CSS dev and demanding perfect front-end? Fuck you for not, hiring people to do the work.
"This is deskilling. It lets employers and managers pretend that web project teams don’t need CSS expertise – or even just pretend that CSS expertise just doesn’t exist at all. This is what Tailwind is for."
I regrettably was unable to attend the second day of #nbpy and am sad to have missed it, but I thoroughly enjoyed my first day there.
My talk "Back to the Future of Hypermedia in Python" is now online. I provide an overview into a hypermedia-driven web application and introduce the PyHAT stack (python hypermedia tailwind).
It makes absolutely no sense that #DesignSystems and #FrontendFrameworks like #TailwindCSS have decided to have darker colors be higher numbers, since computer screens are an additive color system where the more color you add the brighter things get.
The criticisms against #tailwindcss are deserved in most cases.
But the put-downs against developers who use tailwind make me cringe. Things like "they use tw bc they couldn't be bothered to learn the cascade" that I see repeated over and over on here are bad. It paints a picture of the purist #CSS community as completely oblivious and uninterested in why tw came about in the first place.
Guess what: Tailwind is a cry for help. Blaming #webdev that use it isn't the win you think it is.
Maybe it's just the algorithm but it's crazy how all the #webDev "influencers" who are still on Elon Musk's right-wing hate-site are talking about #tailwindcss
After a few months on my first Tailwind project I can say it has lived up to my expectations: nice framework for those without prior CSS experience, or for JS or backend devs, but not my thing. I can live with it but I’d rather not if given the choice. Maybe cause I’ve been pro CSS since the beginning, I don’t know. Just seems to not click with the vibe of what CSS really stands for #webdev#css#frontend#tailwindcss
I realised it has taken about 8 years to finally find a tech stack that I am settled on and happy with so that I am not looking around and wondering if there is something better.
Excited to share tailwindcss-fluid-font-size, a new fluid typography Tailwind plugin.
I’ve been iterating on Tailwind approaches to fluid typography for a couple years. tailwindcss-fluid-font-size is more flexible and, to me, the most ergonomic and idiomatically “Tailwindy” of the solutions I’ve built or read about.
Open minded Tailwind haters might even be interested in at least the design.
Some people criticize #tailwind/#tailwindcss, but I still think that it's great and even a good way to learn #css. It solves one fundamental problem of CSS (for me):
You can't go all-in with inline. What about transitions, states, etc?
The docs are also great and help you understand CSS. The docs may even be better than #mdn. Maybe not as comprehensive, but just as clear with good examples.
💜 Remix / Tailwind Infinite Scroll Masonry Grid 💜 So excited to have gotten this so smooth and beautiful. It might be my favorite component thus far. It is flawless from mobile to ultraHD, from 300px to 4000px!
With layers and scope, it may finally be possible to create a complex web site with pure #CSS without resorting to BEM or other hacks, and without frontend framework component-scoped styles.
Before scope and layer my stylesheets would inevitably get out of control and become append-only as the project grew and changed (and that's why I went to #tailwindcss .) But once scope gets broad support, I can see it working.
Cet article (🇬🇧) explique tellement bien ce qui cloche avec Tailwind.css ! Ça me rassure de voir que ce point de vue existe toujours. Tailwind est simplement très très fort en communication/manipulation.
À lire !

It's still very experimental as it's very early days for this new TUI framework. But my friend @joshkarpel is building something very special here. It's a TUI framework in pure python, but inspired by #React, #TailwindCSS, and (of course) #Textual. Check it out!
