Tailwind CSS: It looks awful, and it works. - Adam Wathan, TailwindCSS creator

As of Rails 7, you can automatically install TailwindCSS when generating a new rails app by running rails new -c=tailwind -d=postgresql.

I am super excited that just like me, Adam will be also speaking on Rails World!

In this mini-series I will cover the main aspects of using TailwindCSS when building a Rails app.

When you create a new Rails app, FIRST OF ALL you want to figure out navigation (navbar, sidebar, footer) and UI responsiveness (make it work on all screen sizes).

Let’s build a responsive layout with a sidebar that is replaced by a dropdown on a small screen.
