Just noticed Tailwind 4 has been released:
Tailwind CSS v4.0 is an all-new version of the framework optimized for performance and flexibility, with a reimagined configuration and customization experience, and taking full advantage of the latest advancements the web platform has to offer.
- New high-performance engine — where full builds are up to 5x faster, and incremental builds are over 100x faster — and measured in microseconds.
- Designed for the modern web — built on cutting-edge CSS features like cascade layers, registered custom properties with
@property, andcolor-mix().- Simplified installation — fewer dependencies, zero configuration, and just a single line of code in your CSS file.
- First-party Vite plugin — tight integration for maximum performance and minimum configuration.
- Automatic content detection — all of your template files are discovered automatically, with no configuration required.
- Built-in import support — no additional tooling necessary to bundle multiple CSS files.
- CSS-first configuration — a reimagined developer experience where you customize and extend the framework directly in CSS instead of a JavaScript configuration file.
- CSS theme variables — all of your design tokens exposed as native CSS variables so you can access them anywhere.
- Dynamic utility values and variants — stop guessing what values exist in your spacing scale, or extending your configuration for things like basic data attributes.
- Modernized P3 color palette — a redesigned, more vivid color palette that takes full advantage of modern display technology.
- Container queries — first-class APIs for styling elements based on their container size, no plugins required.
- New 3D transform utilities — transform elements in 3D space directly in your HTML.
- Expanded gradient APIs — radial and conic gradients, interpolation modes, and more.
- @starting-style support — a new variant you can use to create enter and exit transitions, without the need for JavaScript.
- not-* variant — style an element only when it doesn’t match another variant, custom selector, or media or feature query.
- Even more new utilities and variants — including support for
color-scheme,field-sizing, complex shadows,inert, and more.
Anyone used it yet?
There’s a PragProg book on Tailwind (Modern CSS with Tailwind Book Club!) are there any other Tailwind learning resources worth a look?

I was pleasantly surprised see that the v4.0 docs now have a Framework Guides section that includes Phoenix - Install Tailwind CSS with Phoenix.
JacobAlexander
Unfortunately, Tailwind Framework Guides is incorrect for Phoenix and not working
You should follow the guide from the forum about beta integration.
And what about v4 ? It is nice, simpler to use because of pure CSS, but also I feel like we lost that simplicity in configuration.

I’m newer to Phoenix. When will Phoenix consider upgrading Tailwind v4 as a default?
wceolin
They’re working on it.

LLM will not buy their commercial products, so I am not sure docs optimized for LLM can achieve anything. By the way, the Tailwind’s doc is top notch; I still read their doc even after I stopped using Tailwind.

I don’t have an opinion on whether this will take off, because micropayments for content consumption has been tried a hundred times before and mostly failed, but there is an initiative to leverage HTTP 402 and LLM-access to wallets to enable exactly this.

According to Adam’s podcast:
The “75% of the team” refers to 3 people. In other words, they have exactly one engineer left.
