We just released Tailwind CSS v1.9 which adds support for configuration presets, useful new CSS grid utilities, extended border radius, rotate, and skew scales, helpful accessibility improvements, and more!

To get the most out of Tailwind, you need a build step. It's the only way to be able to customize your tailwind.config.js file, extract components with @apply, or include plugins.

This isn't a problem if you've already bought in to the framework, but if you're just trying to kick the tires for the first time it's a lot of friction. You either have to set up a local development environment with PostCSS support, or stick to the static CDN build, which means you lose out on lots of cool features.

So today we're excited to release the first version of Tailwind Play, an advanced online playground for Tailwind CSS that lets you use all of Tailwind's build-time features directly in the browser.

One of the biggest pain points when building modern web applications is building custom components like select menus, dropdowns, toggles, modals, tabs, radio groups — components that are pretty similar from project to project, but never quite the same.

You could use an off-the-shelf package, but they usually come tightly coupled with their own provided styles. It ends up being very hard to get them to match the look and feel of your own project, and almost always involves writing a bunch of CSS overrides, which feels like a big step backwards when working Tailwind CSS.

The other option is building your own components from scratch. At first it seems easy, but then you remember you need to add support for keyboard navigation, managing ARIA attributes, focus trapping, and all of a sudden you're spending 3-4 weeks trying to build a truly bullet-proof dropdown menu.

We think there's a better option, so we're building it.

A lot of cool stuff has been added to Tailwind since the last time we published any screencasts, so we thought it would be a great idea to record a little series that covers all of the new additions.

"What's new in Tailwind CSS?" is a series of 12 short videos that teach you everything you need to know about some of our favorite new Tailwind features.

Tailwind CSS v1.8 is now available with a handful of new utilities, a couple new features, and an exciting new experiment!

Back in February we released Tailwind UI, a directory of HTML component examples designed for you to copy and paste into your Tailwind projects as a starting point for your own designs.

We built Tailwind UI as an HTML-only, bring-your-own-JS product to make it as universal as possible, but many designs are inherently interactive and porting those interactive behaviors between JavaScript frameworks is unfortunately not always very easy.

One example of this is enter/leave transitions, like when you toggle a dropdown menu and see it fade in and out.

A few months back we quietly released Heroicons, a set of free SVG icons we initially designed to support the components in Tailwind UI. Today we’re launching the official Heroicons web experience, which makes it easier than ever to search for icons and quickly copy them to your clipboard as Tailwind-ready HTML or JSX.

Another new Tailwind release is here! This time with support for gradients, background-clip, experimental support for using @apply with variant utilities, and tons more. Let's dig in!

Back in May we published our first job posting to help us find a full-stack developer to join our team.

After receiving almost 900 applications and interviewing dozens of talented people, we're excited to finally share that Robin Malfait accepted our offer for the position and is officially part of the Tailwind Labs team as of today!

It's like Tailwind CSS v1.5 except now there's animation support, overscroll utilities, and more!

There aren't supposed to be any breaking changes here, but I thought that last time too. If I did break something, first person to report it gets a Tailwind shirt.

Today we are super excited to share that Simon Vrachliotis has joined the development team at Tailwind Labs! (We just finalized that new business name by the way, pretty cool right?)

Simon has been a utility-first true believer since before Tailwind even existed, and authored an oft-referenced case study on his experience rebuilding his company’s entire website with functional CSS in 10 days way back in February 2017.

Back in June, Brad Cornes joined our company as our very first team member. We didn't have a blog to announce it back then, but better late than never right?

You might know Brad as the creator of the amazing Tailwind CSS IntelliSense plugin for VS Code, which he first released way back in 2018 and has since been installed over 100,000 times!

I was hoping to save v1.5.0 for something really exciting but we needed a new feature to support the new @tailwindcss/typography plugin so h*ck it, we're dropping some new stuff on you early.

No breaking changes, this is a minor release and we're professionals you silly goose.

Until now, trying to style an article, document, or blog post with Tailwind has been a tedious task that required a keen eye for typography and a lot of complex custom CSS.

That's why today we're excited to release @tailwindcss/typography — a plugin that lets you easily style vanilla HTML content with beautiful typographic defaults.

One of the things we believe as a team is that everything we make should be sealed with a blog post. Forcing ourselves to write up a short announcement post for every project we work on acts as a built-in quality check, making sure that we never call a project "done" until we feel comfortable telling the world it's out there.

The problem was that up until today, we didn't actually have anywhere to publish those posts!

Today we’re releasing a new version of the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense extension for Visual Studio Code that adds Tailwind-specific linting to both your CSS and your markup.
