In this guide, I create a series of Tailwind CSS card components inspired by the Bootstrap framework. The amount of variants you can create from a card component seems limitless so I tossed out a few to get you off to the races. I hope you enjoy it!
Why Tailwind anyway?

Tailwind CSS has become my go-to framework of choice in the past couple of years since its birth. I used to write object-oriented or BEM-styled CSS which worked decently but suffered dramatically at scale.

In a team setting, I began to learn very fast just how nuanced writing CSS is. Every developer has their own ideas and philosophies on how and where to write CSS. Until you adopt a common pattern/convention for authoring code can you truly write it consistently. This very problem is why many frameworks exist today. They are pretty opinionated by design. Having a set of constraints from the start is what makes frameworks, frameworks in my opinion.

Tailwind CSS is a hybrid framework. It has a set of conventions and opinions but pairs that with a vast amount of configurable options. This ultimately allows developers to use the framework but still create a unique design on the front-end.

I can say without a doubt that I’m all-in on Tailwind CSS. It has increased my productivity dramatically and I can’t advocate using it enough. It does take some getting used to initially but very soon after you will see just how powerful it can be.
