Why We Are Migrating from Bootstrap to Tailwind

The blog post discusses the migration from Bootstrap to Tailwind CSS for enhanced customization and improved developer experience, highlighting the challenges and strategies involved in the transition. It explains the drawbacks of Bootstrap, such as bloat and limited customization, and contrasts it with Tailwind’s utility-first approach that allows for inline styling and greater flexibility. The team is also integrating Vue.js for managing complex components, leveraging its component-based architecture and built-in directives for improved UI development. The migration process includes managing the coexistence of both frameworks by using configuration options in Tailwind to prevent class name collisions. The article emphasizes a function-first design approach, using Tailwind’s utility classes to maintain consistency and streamline development while enhancing clarity and visual hierarchy in user interfaces. As the migration continues, the focus remains on balancing customization with effective design practices, with plans to further explore these considerations in future updates.
