I’ve been working in a tailwind environment for a couple of weeks on this Clojure project. I have some more opinions about it, and I figured I’d share. Firstly, Tailwind is pretty powerful. One of the reasons we are using it is because of its plugins like DaisyUI, which should allow us to theme our app more easily. Looking at the documentation, there are classes for everything you need to style your front end. The challenge is that it is not always clear how to go from a known CSS property to a Tailwind style.

I’m working on a new project and am motivated. We have carved out some aggressive goals, so I’m spending time writing software and learning more about Clojure. I even got to file a bug on Calva and work with Pez on it. So, on to the subject of this post, tailwindcss. This is a framework for generating CSS in your HTML by using utility classes.

Then, when working with All Star, I had a USASF (U.S. All Star Federation) certification. I have also had an NFHS Certification. Recently, AACCA merged with USACheer, and my last certification test was with them. ...
