Discover a step-by-step guide on how to integrate FlutterFlow with Tailwind. Enhance your app's design with easy Tailwind customization in FlutterFlow.
Tailwind is a utility-first CSS framework used for building highly customizable user interfaces. It is designed to be component-friendly, enabling developers to construct webpages from a series of small, reusable components. Tailwind provides low-level utility classes to build custom designs without leaving the HTML code. It consists of responsive design features, hover states, and customizable forms. It doesn't provide pre-designed components but utilities to create unique designs.
