Why should I use tailwind?
As a newer programmer with around five years of experience, I initially learned Java in high school and developed a passion for coding. Disappointed with the lack of programming focus in my college classes, I turned to self-teaching via platforms like Udemy, where I delved into JavaScript, HTML, and Next.js. When faced with the decision of pursuing React Native or Flutter for app development, I opted for Flutter. Over time, I also explored Qwik, finding its approach intriguing.
In my journey, I gravitated towards organizing my code into reusable components, a practice that enhances modularity in both apps and websites. For instance, I structure my components by creating dedicated folders containing both the component and its styling, following a similar pattern in Qwik. Despite my initial enthusiasm for Flutter, recent insights from Theo’s videos and Google’s perspective have led me to reconsider its suitability, prompting me to transition my website development to Qwik and then my apps development over to Expo.
Now, ive been binging Theos’ video and why use Tailwind CSS, I’m don’t think my coding style, where each component has its own CSS file. Take, for example, my portfolio website’s navigation menu, which has its styling in “nav.module.css,” while the buttons within it are treated as separate components with their CSS files like “button.module.css,” each defining its background style differently. So I’m not sure why I would use tailwind. Please help
