Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that lets you build custom designs directly in your markup. V4 added a Rust-based engine, CSS-first configuration, and automatic content detection. The default choice for modern web development.

Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.

80/100 · ship

V4 is the fastest CSS framework to build with. No context switching between files, instant builds, and the design system constraints prevent spaghetti CSS. Industry standard for a reason.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.

The 'ugly HTML' argument is dead. With component extraction and proper tooling, Tailwind codebases are more maintainable than traditional CSS. The ecosystem (shadcn, daisyUI) seals it.

GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.

AI tools generate Tailwind better than any other CSS approach. When v0 or Claude writes UI code, it's Tailwind. That alone makes it the right choice for AI-assisted development.
