Nice to see devs picking up web components.

Kind of like how Jeff Bezos threw a bunch of money at 37signals at some insane valuation, which helped them completely avoid the VC trap.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not very expensive, all things considered. $299 for a single-user perpetual license (includes all future updates too) or about $1k for a team license[1]. If it saves you a bunch of time writing and maintaining the sort of components they are showing off, probably worth it? [1] https://tailwindcss.com/plus#pricing
Listen, I’m not against the Tailwind team getting their bag – they worked hard and created an amazing open source library. I just don’t think it’s in the interest of either users or maintainers to put vanilla JavaScript support behind a paywall. Edit: apparently all framework integrations and the whole library and functionality is behind the same paywall? And regular tailwind is just the css classes/build process tha…
Looks like it's done using standards-based web components[0]. The page says these components don't require any existing JavaScript framework; because web component support is built-in to the browser.

Tailwind is fine, but I do find it humorous that they discourage wrapping up tw classes into a component class ala Bootstrap, but they wrap html up like this: Options ... Bootstrap: Dropdown button ... (I realize you have full control over looks with TW, but Bootstrap and others have utility classes too for the common stuff.)
Dropdown button

The world would be a significantly better place if someone could throw a small mountain of money at the Tailwind folks so that they can stop worrying about money and simply make the full tailwind experience freely available. There are so many lost opportunities for deep integration with other projects. Kind of like how Jeff Bezos threw a bunch of money at 37signals at some insane valuation, which helped them complete…
Tailwind Plus (the commercial product) is like buying an off-the-shelf template. It’s just a collection of themes and pre-built components — useful for devs who want to get started quickly on a project, but it’s cookie-cutter and can easily be replicated by anyone with Tailwind itself.

What kind of integrations are you thinking of?

When using Tailwind you’re likely to use something like React components, so your actual code is more likely to look like: Dropdown button … which is even better than what Bootstrap provides since you get type safety for component props (and more opportunities for customization than what Bootstrap allows)
Design tokens are the one Tailwind feature I genuinely like. Everything else – kill it with fire. Just use whatever scoped CSS your stack does ( in Svelte/Vue, Emotion in React?).
