Tailwind Play An advanced online playground for Tailwind CSS that lets you use all of Tailwind's build-time features directly in the browser.

Finally had a go with Container Queries using @tailwindcss – super interesting and feels like a real game-changer for reusable components.

Check it out & let me know your thoughts

We’ve been using buddy.works for atomic deployments at weareabstrakt.com since before I joined. Took a bit to wrap my head around it, but this @nystudio107.com article really helped! 🚀

Been looking into the AI updates from Figma Config — Sites and Make are edging toward real design-to-build workflows. Auto breakpoints, layout suggestions, the lot. Can't say I'll be using it just yet, but feels like a solid step toward AI-assisted frontend.
