Utility-first CSS framework solution for developers
About Tailwind CSS
A utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup. Utility classes help you work within the constraints of a system instead of littering your stylesheets with arbitrary values. They make it easy to be consistent with color choices, spacing, typography, shadows, and everything else that makes up a well-engineered design system. Because Tailwind is so low-level, it never encourages you to design the same site twice. Even with the same color palette and sizing scale, it's easy to build the same component with a completely different look in the next project. Tailwind automatically removes all unused CSS when building for production, which means your final CSS bundle is the smallest it could possibly be. In fact, most Tailwind projects ship less than 10kB of CSS to the client.

PostCSS
PostCSS is a versatile tool that transforms CSS using JavaScript plugins, enabling a wide range of functionalities such as linting, supporting variables and mixins, transpiling future CSS syntax, and inlining images. It serves as a framework for developing CSS tools and can be utilized to create template languages similar to Sass and LESS. The core of PostCSS comprises a CSS parser that generates an abstract syntax tree, a set of classes that form the tree, a CSS generator that produces a CSS line for the object tree, and a code map generator for CSS changes. Plugins operate on the object tree, analyzing and modifying it before PostCSS generates a new CSS string reflecting these changes. Notable plugins include Autoprefixer, which adds vendor prefixes, and Stylelint, a modern CSS linter that enforces consistent conventions and avoids errors in stylesheets. PostCSS is employed by industry leaders such as Wikipedia, Twitter, Alibaba, and JetBrains.

Once UI
Once UI is an open source design system and component library built for Next.js (and paired with a matching design system in Figma), offering a flexible style system, 100+ ready-to-use UI components, and more than 75 copy-paste blocks to rapidly assemble web apps. It supports both simple static sites and more complex applications, thanks to pre-built, deployment-ready templates for portfolios, documentation sites, blogs, ecommerce stores, and dashboards (free and Pro versions). Once UI emphasizes “component-first” development, meaning developers don’t need to manually write utility-class-heavy styling (like with some CSS frameworks); instead, they use semantic variables and components that integrate design tokens for visual consistency. For creators used to tools like utility-class frameworks or component libraries, but who want faster development with fewer dependencies, Once UI simplifies building UIs without sacrificing design quality or accessibility.
