FF7 Tailwind CSS
What is this? This is FF7 TailwindCSS - a set of components and default stylings built on top of TailwindCSS. Landing page: https://suspicious-goldstine-a7759a.netlify.app/
How do I use it?
- First, install tailwindCSS (https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation) on your project, then
- copy the content from the src/styles.css folder into your own src/styles.css file
- ???
- Profit!!!
- Bootstrap and other CSS frameworks are all about giving you
more default styling so you can quickly set up your sites.
- What if you wanted to encourage people to make sites that looked like FFVII?
FF7 TailwindCSS contains these features and components:

- ✔️ h1/h2/h3/h4/h5/h6 tag styling
- hmm... having some trouble thinking of how to incorporate this...
- I think a variety of header-sizes would compromise the theme...
- should try it out anyways...
- ✔️ Image
- pointer-hand
- logo of meteor
- ✔️ Ordered & unordered lists
- unordered: https://youtu.be/TImnKC8v41c?t=600
- ordered: same as unordered, preceded by number with period ... is this how they did it? 🤔 maybe I should look into it... I feel like if I'm wrong, no one will ever notice, though... unless they read this note-to-self... 😬🤣
- ✔️ Sections
- width of the sections...
- neither centered or full-width sections will feel like FF7...
- cramming lots of stuff into a small place in style then, so it should probably be centered
