Tailwind CSS is a utility first css framework which heavily utilizes css classes. What seems a very "different" approach
|
|
in the beginning turns into a big "ah-ha-moment" during development and even more during build step. The classes
|
|
utilized are entirely generated based on a free to edit configuration file which outlines for example the entire design
|
|
system including states, nuances and so forth. Tailwinds high flexibility results in a very ux/design aligned set of css
|
|
classes with a fraction of writing code compared to a self built solution. For example colors, sizes, spaces etc. can
|
|
have meaningful names that are easy to remember and shared between devs and designers. This of course results in a
|
|
shared language with lesser explanation required. To sum the positive experience up Tailwind CSS has furthermore a deep
|
|
integration into the dev & build processes which means, during built time it's recognized which parts are really
|
|
necessary. This obviously lead to very small build sizes with a nearly 100% css coverage.
|
|
|
|
The deep integration and the extraordinary small build sizes were main aspects for us to choose Tailwind CSS for
|
|
resource limited industry 4.0 projects. These projects have a huge demand on a variety of interaction forms.
|
|
|
|
Tailwind helps us fast-forward to fulfil modern user expectations by reducing complexity of sophisticated industry
|
|
processes in a multi device approach.
|
|
|
|
This is unexpressed expected by nowadays operators even in industry processes because the evolution from e.g. a classic
|
|
cellular phone towards a smartphone has proven, there is still a huge untapped potential for usability improvements and
|
|
adaptivity driven processes, that reduce complexity especially the industry 4.0 field.
