It’s been a cool week for TailwindCSS. Lots of people trying out the last canary release and giving feedback, we got another stream of Adam coding stuff for Tailwind UI and some cool tutorials and resources this week.

## 🌟News

Tailwind’s v1.2 canary 5 has been out for more than a week now and it has some positive feedback on twitter, so if you’re on the fence because its a canary release fear not, it’s pretty awesome to use!

This week our Benevolent Dictator for Life (BDFL) graced us with a stream on building more components for Tailwind UI, talk about the hype🔥. I’m adding two videos here because the stream got cut off mid way.

## 📚Tutorial of the week

### [Get up and running with Tailwind CSS and Next.js - DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻](https://dev.to/notrab/get-up-and-running-with-tailwind-css-and-next-js-3a73?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Cool tutorial on how to use Tailwind with Next.js, pretty basic stuff but would be a good share for a friend who’s a fan of Next.js and doesn’t know much about Tailwind.

## 💅Showcase of the week

### [Statamic docs](https://statamic.dev/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Guess what? Statamic’s docs are made with TailwindCSS in the new beta! They surely took some inspiration from Tailwind’s docs and sprinkled in some cool design choices, you should definitely check it out.

### [eleventail: A running start for JAMstack projects with Eleventy, TailwindCSS and some Netlify goodies](https://github.com/philhawksworth/eleventail?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

For the folks that love eleventy, here’s an awesome resource for you, this is an everything-setup-up-for-you starter project, complete with UglifyJS for the build pipeline. I love how the author just made it j**ust clone and go**.
