Twinklecss
Minified, but unpurged build of Tailwind CSS with a few opinionated features and bells and whistles.
Overview
Twinkle CSS is a minified build of Tailwind CSS 2.0.2 with additional features such as autoprefixer, Inter font, and plugins like aspect-ratio, forms, and typography. The initial uncompressed file size is 3.2 MB, but when served via a CDN that supports Brotli-compression, it becomes less than 250KB. This makes it a bit heavy, but it allows for easier development on multiple sites that cannot use custom builds requiring NodeJS and NPM.
