TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
The article compares Tailwind CSS and FrontAlign, both built around utility-first JIT styling.
FrontAlign adds a JavaScript runtime, built-in components, and runtime theming, while Tailwind stays focused on CSS generation.
The key tradeoff is styling-only simplicity versus a fuller framework that bundles more frontend behavior.
The choice depends on whether a project wants to implement components and theming itself or get them included out of the box.
