Vanilla JavaScript support for Tailwind Plus
There are a lot of UI blocks in Tailwind Plus that need JavaScript to really be useful, like dialogs, dropdowns, command palettes, and more. And unless you're a React or Vue user, using those UI blocks has always meant writing all of that tricky JavaScript yourself. Well today that finally changes — every UI block in Tailwind Plus is now fully functional, accessible, and interactive, including the plain HTML examples.

Tailwind CSS v3.1: You wanna get nuts? Come on, let's get nuts!
It's been about six months since we released Tailwind CSS v3.0 , and even though we've been collecting a lot of little improvements in the codebase since then, we just didn't have that-one-feature yet that makes you say_"okay, it's release-cuttin' time"_.

Headless UI v1.6, Tailwind UI team management, Tailwind Play improvements, and more
It's been a while since I've written about what we've been working on so I have a lot to share! Too much honestly — my main motivator for even getting this update out is that we've got even more stuff coming next week, and I feel like I'm not allowed to share that stuff until I share all of the stuff we've already shipped. So put your swim suit on, sit back in your lounge chair, and prepare to soak up some vitamin CSS.

Tailwind UI: Now with React + Vue support
Last year we released Tailwind UI — a huge directory of professionally designed UI examples built with Tailwind CSS. Up until now, all of the examples in Tailwind UI have been pure HTML which is sort of the lowest common denominator for all web developers, and makes it possible to adapt them to any templating language or JavaScript framework.

Last fall we announced Headless UI , a library of completely unstyled, fully accessible UI components, designed to pair perfectly with Tailwind CSS. Today we’re super excited to release Headless UI v1.0 , which more than doubles the amount of included components for both React and Vue.

Just-In-Time: The Next Generation of Tailwind CSS
One of the hardest constraints we've had to deal with as we've improved Tailwind CSS over the years is the generated file size in development. With enough customizations to your config file, the generated CSS can reach 10mb or more, and there's only so much CSS that build tools and even the browser itself will comfortably tolerate.

Welcoming David Luhr to Tailwind Labs
We started working with David Luhr last summer on a project-by-project basis to help us develop a Figma version of Tailwind UI (almost ready!), as well as to leverage his accessibility expertise when building Tailwind UI templates, ensuring we were following best practices and delivering markup that would work for everyone, no matter what tools they use to browse the web.

Multi-line truncation with @tailwindcss/line-clamp
Imagine you're implementing a beautiful design you or someone on your team carefully crafted in Figma. You've nailed all the different layouts at each breakpoint, perfected the whitespace and typography, and the photography you're using is really bringing the design to life.
It looks totally amazing — until you connect it your actual production content and realize that your beautiful grid of blog cards falls apart because, of course, real article excerpts aren't all magically exactly three lines long, and now each card is a different height.
Sound familiar? If so, the line-clamp plugin is here to save your bacon.

Headless UI: Unstyled, Accessible UI Components
One of the biggest pain points when building modern web applications is building custom components like select menus, dropdowns, toggles, modals, tabs, radio groups — components that are pretty similar from project to project, but never quite the same.

Until now, trying to style an article, document, or blog post with Tailwind has been a tedious task that required a keen eye for typography and a lot of complex custom CSS.

— a plugin that lets you easily style vanilla HTML content with beautiful typographic defaults.

Building the Tailwind Blog with Next.js
One of the things we believe as a team is that everything we make should be sealed with a blog post . Forcing ourselves to write up a short announcement post for every project we work on acts as a built-in quality check, making sure that we never call a project "done" until we feel comfortable telling the world it's out there.
