A month ago, on May 13, 2019, Tailwind team released 1.0.0, the first stable release of the project. Tailwind has been growing exponentially, and the step of defining a stable API is the most important milestone achieved so far.

At its core, Tailwind offers:

• A clean and simple Utility-first set of tools and syntax to express any design
• A modern toolbox to quickly manage templates
• A consistent approach to achieve the objectives with a lean methodology

Now, it is the right time to publish the third version of the template that empowers this blog: anibalsanchez/XT-Tailwind-for-Joomla v2.0.3.

The final size of the stylesheet is minimal, 3KB.
