Unorthodox Tailwind
|
I’m happy to announce that I am working on a new course — Unorthodox Tailwind. This course shows you how to use Tailwind and CSS in a synergistic manner. This is a great course to take if you have been wondering:
This is also a great course to take if you’ve been yearning for a great system to manage various types of styles, including:

What to expectThis course gives you a new way of thinking — of writing design tokens, of styling, and of building assets — that will gradually take your CSS game to the next level. You will likely find yourself creating tools and patterns that will make sites easier to style (and use) as you continue to use this method. Bonus: I’ve already built a couple of tools and I’m gonna share them with you in this course! (This gives you an incredible head start on this journey of making beautiful + easy-to-create sites). Warning: Once you begin using this approach, there’s probably no going back to standard CSS or standard Tailwind (because they’re both too painful). More info coming soonI’ve created a couple of lessons and I will release them to customers who have preordered or purchased the Magical Dev School (courses or everything) packages. For now, I’ve posted an outline of the initial draft here: ![[CleanShot 2025-03-19 at 15.02.14.png]] I’ll release more info along the way so you’ll have a better idea what you’re getting into. That’s it for this week. Thanks for reading! Stay awesome, Zell PS: I’m working on a new course called Unorthodox Tailwind that helps you learn to use Tailwind + CSS in a synergistic manner.

Hi! My name is Zell and here are the things I’ve made
This week I’d like to take a break from talking about code and Splendid Labz — and instead focus on some tooling and ergonomics. If you’ve been hanging out with me for some time, you would have known that I have a Moonlander keyboard. I’m pretty happy with it because it mitigated my carpal tunnel problems for a long long time. (Here’s why it works). Preventing/reducing carpal tunnel problems is important for us developers because, well, we use our hands to work. If we get carpal tunnel, how...
Hey , This is probably one of the most ironic messages I’m gonna send because I’ve just ranted about breaking changes last week. But I gotta tell you about these breaking changes in advance so you can ease into the new library as much as possible — although it’ll probably take some time before I get the documentations out. (Life is tough, but I’m working on all the various fronts I can as we speak). There are two major breaking changes coming with the upcoming version of Splendid Labz....
As you may already know, Tailwind upgraded to version 4 recently. While doing so, they have decided to revamp the Tailwind toolchain. This change was incredibly frustrating for me since I’ve had to make a lot of changes to patch the breaking changes they introduced. So I ranted a bit in today’s article. A little rant about breaking changes. You can read more about my thoughts in the article above, but I just wanna say that most breaking changes don’t warrant enough UX or DX improvements to...
