3. Use Tailwind for CSS
Date: 2024-03-21
Status
Proposed
Context
We need to style our pages to make them look good.
Previously, I've used vanilla CSS, but that can get unwieldy and inconsistent. Here, a unified approach and one that can draw inspiration from other places (including purchasing component galleries) would be beneficial.
Decision
We're going to use Tailwind CSS, and potentially Tailwind UI, to style the project.
Consequences
This means that we will have a higher upfront cost to learn some of the Tailwind ways of doing things.
It also means that long-term it's easier to get help from people, and look at how some of the other projects I have interacted with do things if they are using Tailwind.
There is not much risk of lock-in here, because I can stop using Tailwind and go back to vanilla CSS fairly easily.
