Moving away from Tailwind, and learning to structure my CSS

This article details a developer's journey of moving away from Tailwind CSS after 8 years and adopting semantic HTML with vanilla CSS. The author explains how Tailwind taught them valuable CSS structuring concepts like resets, color palettes, font scales, and component-based organization. They describe implementing a component-based CSS architecture with unique classes, separate files, and no cross-component overrides. The piece covers practical steps including copying Tailwind's preflight styles, organizing CSS by components, and managing spacing, responsive design, and build systems. It's a reflective tutorial aimed at developers seeking better CSS structure without relying on utility-first frameworks.
