Can't you use it in a local env, compile, then just use the dist code on your site? |

Hey! To be able to use dark mode, which is not enabled by default, you’ll need to compile Tailwind via PostCSS. You need NodeJS to run PostCSS plugins on your machine - but if I understand your question correctly: you don’t need a Node server for the website you are building - it can be just static HTML, or anything you want. Think of building/compiling Tailwind as a build step, that happens while you develop the site. This generates a plain CSS stylesheet, that you can use without any need for NodeJS once it’s compiled. Hope it makes sense and is a useful answer. |
