This is one of those press announcements that creates more questions than answers, that’s for sure.

My hope is that this will allow Tailwind to be supported and improved for the long term. It’s still the most popular CSS framework on the planet, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon 😊

It’s also worth remembering (if you were worried) that Elements isn’t tied to Tailwind, so if something bigger and better comes along we can add support for that too.

So in short, it’s business as usual.

This was experience paying off. I’m sure it’s not a plug and play change if that day ever comes but great wisdom building around all that risk!

Another great example of how thoughtful and reflective the Realmac team is. So many great innovations from reflection on past experiences.

Really glad to hear this!
