This plugin does just one thing but does it very well, it creates content placeholders that are great to use when you want to animate the loading of your content. Check the demo and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Best part? It has a ton of options to customize it.

👌 Promoted links

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!

At Tailwind Made, we launched our newest template, Masterclass! Masterclass is a premium template with a beautiful design, tailored specifically for online courses but can be used for digital products in general. We also have a portfolio, business, blog, and e-commerce template if you’re interested.

Polypane is a great tool for testing your project’s responsive design and accessibility. I use this daily for my frontend work and its 👌. If you sign up using this link you’ll get 20% off your subscription applied at checkout.

From the makers of Windy, comes Tint, the color picker for TailwindCSS developers. But it’s not like any other color picker out there, no sir, this thing automatically takes the color of whatever you have your cursor on and translates it to the nearest Tailwind CSS color. It’s macOS for now and supports Tailwind v1, v2 and v2 extended color palettes.
