Hate using which? CSS modules or tailwind?

lol @ “you I.” Meant to say “I write.” Originally meant the royal you but switched it to I cause I must carry every burden.

Nvm, I got it. Yeah dude, agreed. I’ll reach for shadcn for that, which is Tailwind but I don’t mind if it’s essentially just styling someone else’s component library.

Maintaining a component library that uses tailwind has a bunch of problems though. And if I was building a component library from scratch, I’d just reach for CSS modules.

No conflicts with the consumer, I know CSS better than tailwind, and honestly I feel like you I worse markup with tailwind. It makes it easy to be lazy.
