Hello folks!

It was a quiet week on the surface, but the Tailwind Labs team is clearly cooking behind the scenes. Community support keeps growing, with Railway and Webflow joining as official sponsors, and there’s a lot of exciting energy building around what’s coming next.

🌟 News

Adam teased that the team is actively working on fixing one of the biggest gaps in AI tooling right now: UI design. Instead of just complaining that “AI sucks at design,” they’re building something to make that leap easier, and the hints so far (including a spicy four-letter domain 👀) are already getting people excited.

🤩 Windy Picks

📚 Learning

An Interactive Guide to SVG Paths

A great little primer on SVGs, especially if you’ve been using them without really understanding what’s going on under the hood. It walks you through what an SVG actually is (and why it’s different from a normal image), the key pieces you’ll keep seeing like the viewBox, paths, and coordinate system, and how those details affect scaling and crispness across sizes. The best part is it helps you build intuition so you’re not just copy-pasting icons, you’ll know what to tweak when an SVG looks “off” or doesn’t behave the way you expect.

The Weird Parts of position: sticky;

If you’ve ever used position: sticky and thought “this should be simple, why is it not sticking?!” this article is just for you. It starts with the basic mental model (what the sticky element is actually sticking to), then walks through the two most common ways sticky fails in real layouts: your sticky element being taller than the scroll container, and the more maddening one where an ancestor’s sizing/bounding box prevents the sticky element from “breaking out”. The best part is it doesn’t just throw random fixes at you; it explains the why (even lightly referencing the spec), then shows the practical Tailwind-friendly fixes like using self-start, so you can debug sticky issues quickly and easily.

A guide to Scroll-driven Animations with just CSS

Saron walks you through scroll-driven animations in plain CSS by breaking the concept into three familiar pieces (the target, the keyframes, and the timeline) and then introduces the missing puzzle piece: animation-timeline, with both scroll() (animation progress follows the page scroll) and view() (animation runs as an element enters the viewport). What I like is that it doesn’t stop at “look, it moves”, it also covers the practical gotchas (like property order) and the UX/accessibility side with prefers-reduced-motion, plus a quick intro to animation-range so your elements can settle into place instead of moving the entire time they’re visible.
