Goal

Eleventy and Tailwind CSS are my favorite things right now.

While learning how to use Eleventy, I came across a few starter projects that combine it with Tailwind CSS, which is amazing, but they also come with so much more.

Personally, I only want Eleventy and Tailwind … and, taking the desire for simplicity one step further, I only want to use them via NPM scripts.

So, I made this and it seems to work 🤷‍♀️

How you can use it

1. Clone this repo
2. Install dependencies: npm i
3. Start development: npm run dev
4. Visit http://localhost:8080 to see your work-in-progress
5. Do super-fun Eleventy and Tailwind things
6. When you’re done: npm run build
7. Host your project somewhere (Netlify and Vercel are nice options)

That’s it 🕺

Disclaimer

I originally built this in about an hour through trial-and-error, so I'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement.

If you try it and find issues, or think of improvements, please file an issue and/or create a pull request.
