+  I've rebuilt some of the Bootstrap CSS example components with Tailwind CSS.
+---
+
+I've been [speaking about and advocating for Tailwind CSS][0] and utility-first CSS for a long time.
+
+In my slide deck, I show screenshots of websites that are all built with Tailwind CSS - including some [rebuilds of existing websites][1].
+
+I do this to show that the same approach and framework can be used to create different-looking designs because the classes are atomic and can be reused and combined as needed.
+
+This isn't the case with other CSS frameworks that focus on components first.
+
+As an experiment, some time ago I decided to [rebuild some of the Bootstrap example components using Tailwind CSS][3].
+
+I've only done a pricing grid and album, but I may do more in the future.
+
+I originally built the examples with Astro but have ported them to Sculpin, which I'm more familiar with.
+
+If you want to see how I've built these components or how for an example of building a static website with Sculpin, [check out the source code][2].
