Bootstrap vs Tailwnd CSS

for indie hackers that want to move fast, I think the important questions are: 1) How easy is it to find nice-looking prebuilt CSS components out in the community, and 2) how easy is it to drop those into your app?

On both those questions Tailwind is better by a mile. It's so easy to drop in https://tailwindcss.com (or one of the other options) and instantly have a great looking app.

Let the career coders have long debates about the merits of atomic css. Hackers just ship.

My personal experience: My product is in Bootstrap but after tutoring with a student we explored Tailwind and MAN do I understand the hype. I wrote a sass function that supplies a lot of the same utility classes in BS5 and themed it to match our brand so looks is not one thing I'm worried about, but the bloated API! That said, react-bootstrap is still really nice, but I think next front end I do I'd do Tailwind with something like DaisyUI.

Nice job on the YT vid. Good sound, lighting, easy to follow - great onscreen walkthrough. It's your only vid on the channel...but it managed to bring in 194 subs and 9700 views. That's great stuff! 🙌

we like tailwinds design better personally. They also have pretty nice components if you pay for them

Bootstrap is old and ugly. Your app will feel old and not fresh.
