As an old CSS hand, I look at Tailwind’s docs (front page example) and see:

<button class="px-4 py-1 text-sm text-purple-600 font-semibold rounded-full border border-purple-200 hover:text-white hover:bg-purple-600 hover:border-transparent focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-purple-600 focus:ring-offset-2">Message</button>

5/5: I had only heard good reviews in the kind of "just shut up and read it" variety about this book, so I had very little foreknowledge about it or its subject matter when I went in. Some books are best experienced that way. This is one of them. I will try to keep my review relatively spoiler-free, but I nonetheless have to give it five stars for reasons which I hope will become clear. I try not to give out five stars easily—usually resorting to four stars with some nitpick, but I can't do that with this book. There was a point at which it seemed to reach out from the page (or the light of my k...
