I really don't get the appeal of tailwindcss, and I feel like I must be missing some obvious benefit of using it vs something like bootstrap. But at first glance, it just looks like the framework recreates css rules with class names. What epiphany am I missing here?

I seldom write CSS. I tried tailwindcss on one of my recent projects that required to closely follow a custom design (a portfolio for a graphic designer friend). I like it, with some caveats. Main benefit for me is that I don't need to remember how to write css. 95% of what I need is a shortcut away from tailwind docs.

This is really neat. What's the site? I'd love to see it. And could you tell us more about the DOM diffing algorithm?

I'll paste what I wrote in another reply to a post asking the same question: It's really nothing special. I wrote the whole thing in, like, a single afternoon.
