Including more tailwind plugins? #7

Hi,

Thank you very much for this very useful tool. Could you consider including more Tailwind plugins in the bundle? For example, the ones listed in awesome-tailwindcss. We could restrict the update triggers to new Tailwind versions. Possibly in an additional binary release, while keeping the current Tailwind + Daisy setup untouched.

Context: I’m working with the new Python framework, FastHTML, and your tool has been a great help. It allows us to avoid installing npm in a Python project altogether.

Hi, I'm really glad that the tool has been useful to you!

The Tailwind CSS team is currently working on the next generation of the framework, which might be released later this year. According to the latest status update, it's still unclear what changes this will bring to the plugin ecosystem and the Standalone CLI:

  • Plugins and custom utilities — we don’t have support for plugins, or for writing custom utilities that automatically work with variants yet. Obviously we will make this work before a stable release.

  • Standalone CLI — we haven’t worked on a standalone CLI for the new engine yet, but will absolutely have it before the v4.0 release.

Given this uncertainty, I'm hesitant to invest in extending the current solution. If we're fortunate, the new Tailwind CSS Standalone CLI will offer built-in support for third party plugins, potentially making this utility unnecessary. Let's revisit the topic once we'll have more info on the Standalone CLI for Tailwind CSS v4.0. 😊
