I am back-end dev, but on solo-projects I must work on front-end too. I use mostly bulma, as it doesn't require any JS in rails (like bootstrap), but I saw some amazing things with Tailwind, so I have one question here (I know I can google this, but discussions are to ask, no?)
You say desktop-first (me too), but before Tailwind you used to go mobile first, which means you work desktop-first in Tailwind.
@manen
say Tailwind require you to do mobile-first.
I would highly appreciate short answer about this, since I will use Tailwind in my current project Moriarty, to make GUI. Thanks!
I'm sorry, I didn't define the question very well. Does Tailwind require mobile first, or desktop-first, or doesn't matter? That's why I quoted answer that say "Tailwind require you to go mobile-first".
I know how to work on front-end, but I don't like it. I have knowledge (and work with) html, pure css or scss, template engines like haml, frameworks like bulma and bootstrap, but never used Tailwind (anyway that's not a problem).
I just need answer on this, from someone who used Tailwind.

to answer your question, tailwind does not require you to work mobile-first, but they do encourage it. Their breakpoints work with min-width so it would be easier if you start mobile-first.

Desktop view, then mobile.
Before Tailwind, I used to do mobile first.

by default tailwind provide mobile first layout but you can easily configure it.
Yes use Tailwind. Go desktop. Responsiveness can be added easily later if you know more about Tailwind.

It doesn’t matter. It’s just a css framework.
tailwind provides you utility classes. for instance, going from a 3-col grid view on desktop to 1-col on mobile is as hard as this:
class="grid-cols-1" <- smaller gadgets
class="md:grid-cols-2" <- medium
class="lg:grid-cols-3" <- larger devices
it's especially handy with Javascript framework components, but perhaps not the best choice if you cannot reuse templates or partials
You can put these classes on the same element like this for responsiveness. Cool ?
