Hello Coders its me Aaryan Bhurtel and I am gonna tell you about Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS and what should be your choice in 2023.

If you dont want to read the intro and the stuffs then directly go to comparision

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is the most popular front-end framework, basically consisting of CSS and Javascript. It is free and completely open-source. It provides some responsive and mobile-first designs. The thing I love about it is that it helps me save time while coding my website and as a result, I get a lot of time for content writing. Also while using bootstrap gives a hug to JS plugins and has many more advantages

History Of Bootstrap

Bootstrap was started in about mid of 2010 by a web designer and web developer of Twitter. It was published in August 29, 2011, by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton. It really helped devs like me who just want to finish the work faster and simplified web development and also well known for its responsiveness

Best Practices and Mistakes of bootstrap

Now lets move towards some Best Practices and Mistakes that devs make while using bootstrap

Best Practices

Always use inspect element to check for responsiveness
Always use the latest version or else the latest docs might not work for your projects
Since its a large framework always make sure that you only use what you need or else it wont be maintainable and you may need to rewrite the code

Now lets see what are the mistakes which you should not make while using bootsrap

Mistakes

Not checking the responsiveness in all browsers
Keeping .container inside other container
Not reading docs

This was all about Bootstrap and Lets go towards tailwind css

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a framework of css like bootstrap but the thing which makes it different from bootstrap is that it doesnt have any predefined class for elements instead it will give you utilities which makes it easier for devs who actually want to add their own creativity. Tailwind is completely free and has a good community of developers. Also when we will browse about tailwind we also will get to know about tailblock which will lead me to my next topic

Tailblocks

Tailblocks can be best defined as a brother of tailwind it is basically a ready-mate template stuffs of HTML and Tailwind CSS. It is kind of copy paste stuff and is available and Tailblock's official website. It basically the templates ready and all you need to do is just copy it and past it in your html file.
