Hello again folks! This week we have a new update for TailwindUI + the usual goodies *and* a special call for volunteers.

I’m also experimenting with a new section called “*Overheard on Twitter*”. I think it helps a lot when other people talk about Tailwind and its impact on their workflow so stay tuned for more tweets to come in the future!

We got a brand new update for TailwindUI, the first one of May.

Here’s what’s new:

### Overheard on twitter

> DX of [@tailwindcss](https://twitter.com/tailwindcss?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) is insane.

> Just installed 1.4.0, added the purge setting to the tailwind config, pointed it to \*\*/\*.svelte, and went from \~250kb to \~11kb.

> 🤯— Bart Veneman (@bartveneman) [May 1, 2020](https://twitter.com/bartveneman/status/1256335763312046081?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) 

I know Bart, tailwind’s focus on DX is *truly insane*. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to coding a design by writing CSS from scratch ever again 😂.

## 📚Tutorial of the week

### [Adding Tailwind CSS to Phoenix 1.4 and 1.5](https://pragmaticstudio.com/tutorials/adding-tailwind-css-to-phoenix?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Yes, Tailwind is breaking new ground every week and now it reached the Elixir lands. As the title says, this shows you how to add Tailwind to the new latest versions of Phoenix, an Elixir web framework.

### [tailwindcss-rtl](https://github.com/20lives/tailwindcss-rtl?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Aurora Insight is another great example on how to apply Tailwind’s default color palette to a completely custom design, I bet they thought “*why reinvent the wheel? these colors are great”.* The website screams clean minimalism and attention to detail, be sure to check it out!

Here’s what Aurora Insight does:

*We offer accurate, impartial, data-driven insights on the radio spectrum your business depends on, helping you invest with confidence and improving wireless communication for all.*

This plugin enables bidirectional language support on TailwindCSS. This is an extremely useful plugin if you work with right-to-left languages like Arabic or Hebrew. Makes supporting them a breeze. Be sure to thank user [20lives](https://github.com/20lives?ref=tailwindweekly.com) for this plugin!

## Call for volunteers

Hey folks, I’m working on a few TailwindCSS templates which I plan to sell and I’m looking for 10 volunteers to get an honest review from, in exchange you’ll get all the templates files and 5 hours of consultation time if you need help setting it up for your project.
