Definitely a great read, I have been enjoying Josh’s content for a while now and speaking like someone who thought she knew CSS like the back of her hand, Josh’s content always teaches me new stuff! ## 💅 Showcase ![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/3d263475-c1ec-4d4b-a30b-155ce1593582/cover-87faec427a1f5c8dd8a240f81a2e41487147fe831cd61c6fb877812ca4543524.png?t=1738083336) ### [Panther | Find out who to trust with your data instantly.](https://pantherscore.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) Man, this week’s showcase is so cool-looking! It’s clean, readable, and has color all over the place, reminds me a bit about Stripe’s design, and that’s definitely a compliment! For the curious, here’s what Panther does: *Panther tells you who to trust and why instantly. All in a clear, simple way. No matter if you’re just a little worried or if you’re a full-on privacy advocate.* ## 🎁 Resource ![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/5378d977-5948-4db9-ae89-d32295cc26d7/c6f6eb99-112a-4502-9f30-4732ef89a0ad.png?t=1738083336) ### [tailwindcss-perspective](https://github.com/Kamona-WD/tailwindcss-perspective?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) If you’re into fancy 3D CSS transforms and animations then you’ll love this plugin! It adds utility classes for the [perspective](https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/p/perspective/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) property. Combine that with some rotating classes and you’ll get cool animations really easily. ## 👌 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!
