Setting Up Astro with Tailwind CSS


Today I spent time setting up a new Astro project with Tailwind CSS. The process was fairly straightforward but had a few hiccups along the way.

What I Accomplished

  • Created a new Astro project
  • Integrated Tailwind CSS
  • Fixed an issue with the Astro configuration
  • Started customizing the theme colors

Challenges Faced

The main challenge was getting the Tailwind integration working properly. Initially, I tried to use @tailwindcss/vite as a Vite plugin, but this wasn’t the correct approach. Instead, I needed to use the official @astrojs/tailwind integration.

Resources Used

Next Steps

Tomorrow I plan to work on creating the main layout and implementing dark mode support.
