It's been a bit quiet on Tailwind land this week, nothing official to report yet but just wanted to remind you that [V3.0 alpha 1](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/tag/v3.0.0-alpha.1?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) is out and you should go play it and report bugs! I think they'll be launching it as a finished product by end of next month, fingers crossed 🀞. Also, see anything different? I moved the newsletter to Ghost! I was thinking about it for a while now and decided to migrate over the last week, we only have a few old posts up but we'll be migrating all older issues over the coming weeks. I'm pretty excited about it, Ghost is so easy to use! Now that we're on a new platform we'll be experimenting a bit with layouts in future issues, stay tuned! ## 🌟 News It was kind of a slow week but we still got some tidbits for you! - Jonathan Reinink [shared](https://twitter.com/reinink/status/1450570325360513026?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) a great tip on how to add print styles to your site, pretty handy! - I talked about [Wicked Blocks](https://wickedblocks.dev/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) a while back and found it pretty cool, now they just [released a V2](https://michaelandreuzzavega.medium.com/wicked-blocks-v2-ready-made-tailwind-css-blocks-for-your-next-project-86ec3bf46a3e?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) which includes new component designs and Alpine.js support for some components, definitely check it out! ## πŸ“š Learning ![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/1067b3a3-e0aa-4310-b0c5-4a08d9ec0eeb/piccalil.li_tutorial_getting-started-with-css-custom-properties_-MBP--1.png?t=1738083334) ### [Getting started with CSS Custom Properties](https://piccalil.li/tutorial/getting-started-with-css-custom-properties/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) I know I have talked a lot about CSS Custom Properties before and shared articles about it but it's just such a powerful feature that I can't help but emphasize it again and again. So this week's learning piece is another great primer on it, this time from the great Piccalilli, definitely a great read! ## πŸ’… Showcase ![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/c3ea6ef5-098e-4b4e-91b4-484d357f516f/DanielBlogPost-1.jpg?t=1738083334) ### [Cyral - Data Security and Governance](https://cyral.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) Cyral's marketing website is clean, sober, and kind of "enterprise" looking, all while also being friendly and very readable. I think they nailed it with their use of small "interaction" animations, especially the ones that activate when you scroll to a particular section, very nice looking! ## 🎁 Resource ![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/8e421143-1448-4208-a851-2e5c1a413b1d/tailwindcss-aria-attributes-1.png?t=1738083335) ### [tailwindcss-aria-attributes](https://github.com/thoughtbot/tailwindcss-aria-attributes?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) I discovered this plugin just this week and it's pretty new but the concept is powerful! It basically a plugin that provides variants for various aria-\* attributes and their supported values. Imagine doing stuff like: Powerful stuff 🀯! ## πŸ‘Œ 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!
