<p>A while ago, I started to build <a href="https://bootstrap-with-tailwind.oliverdavies.uk">some of Bootstrap's example components</a> with Tailwind CSS.</p>
<p>Because it's a lower-level framework with less-opinionated classes, you can use Tailwind classes to make different looking UIs.</p>
<p>There is no "Tailwind-looking website" as there is with component-level frameworks like Bootstrap and Bulma.</p>
<p>You can also see this in the <a href="/blog/uis-ive-rebuilt-tailwind-css">other UIs I've rebuilt with Tailwind</a> - some of which I show in my <a href="/presentations/sculpin">Taking Flight with Tailwind CSS talk</a>.</p>
<p>I've created the Album and Pricing card examples so far, but may do more soon.</p>
<p>I've recently ported this website to be <a href="/presentations/sculpin">a Sculpin-powered website</a>, so if you want to see another Sculpin example, you can take a look <a href="https://code.oliverdavies.uk/opdavies/bootstrap-with-tailwind">at the source code</a>.</p>
