Tailwind Weekly #95: Heroicons v2.0 is here 🥳 🚀!
Hello folks!
Heroicons v2.0 is out folks 🎉 . This launch has been long in the making and it's finally here! Check out the news section for more info.
We also decided to add a jobs section and feature job ads from the official Tailwind CSS job board, if you want to add yours then check out the section for more info.
🌟 News
Say hello to the new Heroicons!
We got a completely new design, a new 24px solid set, and 260 icons redrawn from scratch, with the outline version using a thinner 1.5px stroke.
The icons are also available as React and Vue libraries and official Figma components so we got the whole deal 😎.

📚 Learning
Everything Developers Must Know About Figma
This primer is not your average "here's how to use Figma" post, this is actually a great guide for its most common and advanced features and how they're useful for developers. A great read if you work translating Figma designs to code.
How to make your multilingual website suitable for RTL with only HTML and CSS
This one is short, sweet, and straight to the point. It has 3 tips for you if you're working on adding RTL support to your website. The 3rd tip "Give unicode ranges to fonts" was one I haven't heard of before and was quite interesting.
How to change the Tailwind CSS base font size
Written by me! I recently worked on a project migrating an old codebase from Bootstrap to Tailwind CSS and the original developer did the whole html { font-size: 10px; } so had to find a way around that for Tailwind and this post explains how I did it. I hope you find it useful!
💅 Showcase
Bump
Bump's design is simple and clean with beautiful blue hues, cute icons, and styled screenshots. The copy is king here and I particularly liked the testimonial section's design.
For the curious, here's Bump's description:
Create a powerful human-centered workflow for your APIs. Bump documents, diffs, and validates your API changes continuously. It lets you focus on what's important: building your product.
🎁 Resource
a17t
a17t is a Tailwind CSS plugin that provides pre-built components like field, button, and card in for your project. I would say the design is very minimalistic and I find it curious how they class prefixes like ~ and @. Overall a great resource if you like the design and you're looking to code fast with pre-built components.
