Hello folks!

What an interesting week! We had a new video from the Tailwind Labs team, rebuilding another website with Tailwind, and also discovered the [#30DaysOfTailwindCSS](https://30daysoftailwindcss.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com) challenge, I particularly liked the Day 27 challenge, just because I love using “*bg-clip-text*”.

And of course, we have our usual menu of one good learning resource, one great showcase website, and one useful plugin or app!

## 🌟 News

From the Tailwind Labs team, we got a new “Rebuilding X with TailwindCSS” video, this time rebuilding the [“Sick Fits” app ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK-ePxnfcJw&ref=tailwindweekly.com)originally created by Wes Bos and made by Simon. I really missed these!

Also, our friend [Michael Andreuzza](https://twitter.com/Mike%5FAndreuzza?ref=tailwindweekly.com), a fellow TailwindCSS fan, created a few social initiatives for the framework, like [TailwindCSS garden](https://dev.to/michaelandreuzza/tailwind-css-garden-4g05?ref=tailwindweekly.com) (inspired by the famous [CSS Zen Garden](http://www.csszengarden.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)) and the[#30DaysOfTailwindCSS](https://30daysoftailwindcss.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com) challenge. Definitely something to try out on your next free weekend 😁.

## 📚 Learning

### [What the heck, z-index??](https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/stacking-contexts/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Another GREAT guide from Josh, this time about z-index. I love the example he used to explain “stacking contexts” and the whole “z-index values are not global” idea. Also, that list of different CSS contexts was 🤯.

## 💅 Showcase

### [BaseCode - a field guide to writing code that lasts](https://basecodefieldguide.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

I have to say that the minimal look is hard to do right when it comes to courses/books but BaseCode is one of the few that nails it. With a very simple color palette and lots of padding, the site looks clean, and it’s easy to know what the product is about.

For the curious:

*BaseCode - a field guide of simple practices to writing lasting code proven by over 20 years of programming.*

### [tailwindcss-border-gradients](https://github.com/cossssmin/tailwindcss-border-gradients?ref=tailwindweekly.com)

Another great plugin from our friend [Cossssmin](https://twitter.com/cossssmin?ref=tailwindweekly.com), this time for generating border-image gradient classes. Don’t know what those are or have never used them? Check out this [Digital Ocean article](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/css-gradient-borders-pure-css?ref=tailwindweekly.com) to see how cool they are.

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?
