## 🌟 News

We had a week packed with tailwind news! Let’s start with the beginning, we got:

- The official [Figma kit](https://twitter.com/tailwindcss/status/1361797146744393731?ref=tailwindweekly.com) for Tailwind UI, designers rejoice!
- A brand-new youtube course called “From Zero to Production”, I watched it and loved it, it’s a great introduction to the framework and the utility-first way. Check the first video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elgqxmdVms8&ref=tailwindweekly.com).
- Remember last week when Steve was giving us a sneak peek of an upcoming landing page? [It’s here](https://tailwindui.com/react-and-vue-support/?ref=tailwindweekly.com). Now you can get notified when Tailwind UI gets support for React and Vue 👌.

### [How to use TailwindCSS in a Cookiecutter Django project](https://www.boringbackend.dev/using-tailwindcss-cookiecutter-django/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

I have a confession to make, I don’t do much python these days but I have a soft spot for cookie-cutter django, my first ever open source contribution was to this project back in a djangocon years ago, oh how the time flies!

But enough sentimentality, this tutorial is good! I really like that they switch from gulp to Webpack (more modern) and handhold you the entire time, I know that some python devs frown at JS but if even if you do, the article has very clear steps, and its even funny at times, definitely a good read.

### [Blitz.js - The Fullstack React Framework](https://blitzjs.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

This week I bring a new dev-focused site again, this time it’s a very fancy one. Blitz.js website has come [a long way](https://web.archive.org/web/20200228231153/https://blitzjs.com/) ever since it launched. Now it’s colorful and very playful, those hand lines look really cool plus they manage the content-heavy section very nicely.

For the curious, Blitz is:

*a hyper-productive fullstack React framework that’s built on Next.js and features a “Zero-API” data layer.*

### [Windi CSS](https://github.com/windicss/windicss?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Windi CSS is “a next-generation Tailwind CSS compiler”, yep, we’re now so mainstream we got a compiler. If you thought [twin.macro](https://github.com/ben-rogerson/twin.macro?ref=tailwindweekly.com) was fancy Windi CSS has nothing to envy it, check out the [features page](https://windicss.netlify.app/guide/features.html?ref=tailwindweekly.com) and you’ll see. I particularly love the + and - for the screen size utilities, very clever!
