Hello folks!

Happy new year to all of you 🎉. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey in 2020, you guys rock!This is the first issue of the year and, like always, I bring you the usual goodies plus some recommendations on our new classified section.

I think 2021 will be even better for TailwindCSS, I expect more adoption, more cool plugins, and more awesome features. I’m really excited for what’s to come!

But before our usual stuff, here’s this week’s sponsor:

⭐ Polypane is a stand-alone browser for web developers and designers that makes you five times as productive and helps you build better websites and apps. I use this daily for my frontend work and its 👌.

## 🌟News

On the ecosystem we didn’t get much news since our last issue, everybody was getting a well-deserved rest, and the Tailwind Labs team is still working on awesome things to come.

One of which is a new official plugin called [line-clamp](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-line-clamp?ref=tailwindweekly.com), which gives you more control when truncating text.

## 📚Article of the week

### [6 Tips for Tailwind CSS Development (with resources!)](https://dev.to/joserfelix/6-tips-for-tailwind-css-development-with-resources-33i4?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Great article with multiple resources to improve your tailwind experience. For me, the “clsx” recommendation takes the cake, the post adds some examples on how to use it and I must say you can write some very clean code with it.

### [How to Use Tailwind With Django | Musings — zanderle](https://zanderle.com/musings/2020/12/how-to-use-tailwind-with-django/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

## 💅Showcase of the week

### [Create. Edit. Publish. | Narration Box](https://narrationbox.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

This week’s showcase is very artsy! Lots of colors, shapes, and illustrations. I love that the screenshots are central to the page and that they have a demo right there on the homepage. Also, that button animation is 👌.

For the curious, here’s what Narration Box does:

*Narration Box is the only tool you need to create and edit voiceovers, narrations, podcasts, audiobooks, audio widgets for your blogs or websites.*

## 🎁Resource of the week

### [Find the nearest Tailwind Colour](https://find-nearest-tailwind-colour.netlify.app/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

This resource is 🤯! Just like the title says, the tool lets you get the nearest TailwindCSS color from any hex code color. I think a great use case for this would be translating a design to code using only tailwind’s default colors. I also did some testing and it looks like it supports the full v2 color palette too.

## 🗞Classifieds of the week

Note: Some of these links are affiliate links, which means I get compensated in some way if you buy through them but I promise I only recommend products I really like!

On Tailwind Made, we just updated our [legal/business](https://redpixelthemes.com/templates/thompson/?ref=tailwindweekly.com) and [e-commerce](https://redpixelthemes.com/templates/elyssi/?ref=tailwindweekly.com) HTML templates to TailwindCSS v2, among other improvements. Do check them out!

Imagine if you could go to any website, find a section/element you like, and get the approximate tailwind values to code it yourself. Like that idea? Then [Windy is for you](https://usewindy.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com), the tool is still in its early stages but it looks very promising.

Are you on a Mac or Linux and are unfortunate enough to have to test on IE11? Or maybe you’re on Windows and need to test on Safari?

To both above, I highly recommend[LambaTest](https://tailwindweekly.link/lambdatest?ref=tailwindweekly.com), this is the cross-browser testing tool I use and I find the interface very easy to use plus they have a lot of automated testing features too.
