I think it's the surprisingly poor quality of Catalyst compared to their other products and also how limited it is considering the price.

> I think it's the surprisingly poor quality It's also a friggen preview and uncompleted thing. They could have waited for the whole thing to be done and polished but everyone was barking at them "just release it I don't care if it's not done" Judging by your previous comments, you're not even a customer of theirs and have very misguided views on the product and it's pricing. I have a feeling you have a competing pro…

This makes so much more sense now. Thanks for investigating

Do you use Tailwind with Go templates?

Not parent, but I do. Go, SSR, vanilla JS, TailwindUI, SQLite, Litestream got us to $20k MRR for a niche CRM product. TailwindUI provides HTML-only code and includes useful comments about class transitions, so I was able to handle the mobile hamburger menu and some form submission stuff in a tiny JS file, rather than React or Vue (which they also provide code for).

How'd you get Tailwind working in Go? What combination of libraries?

I just use the Tailwind node package to watch for HTML class name changes in my Go templates, which recompiles the CSS served by the Go HTTP server.

how does the Node package handle Go {{ $foo }} in the templates?

It just ignores it and looks for HTML class names as far as I can tell. I think it's a "dumb regex search" type thing.
