Quite sad to hear this, big fan of Adam & Tailwind team.
Some thoughts:
- I always wondered why they never launched a marketplace around its ecosystem. Looking at Bootstrap for insights, the market places like WrapBootstrap seems extremely profitable.
- About the decrease in site traffic: Regardless of AI, Tailwind class names are very intuitive & easy to remember, reducing the probability of next visit to the site each time.
- Counting on documentation traffic for monetization feels like a end of the tunnel strategy not a lot of visitors would make it through.
- While Tailwind Plus provides nice UI blocks, they are not simple to put together in the same project. I guess that's why users turn to UI libraries like Flowbite, Nuxt UI etc.
Regardless, I hope Adam & team find a way to turn things around and get through this tough time. I wish them best!
🎧 Recorded a new morning walk this morning, hard one to share because I'm sure people will want to roast me for it but have been transparent up until now so publishing it anyways.
