Five Tailwind tips I wish I knew earlier
By Matúš7 min read
Tailwind rewards investment. The first week feels noisy; by month two, you are reaching for utilities without thinking and shipping interfaces twice as fast.
Tip one: extend the theme, do not override it. Adding a brand color under `theme.extend.colors` keeps all of Tailwind defaults available alongside your own.
Tip two: lean on `@apply` only for true primitives — buttons, badges, form fields. Everything else stays as utilities and stays readable.
