That's what I mean, though. $250 for some styled HTML! I think that's crazy. Compare with Bootstrap, which has basically just as many snippets simply as part of the documentation.
I don't think it's crazy. It's a good business model for them and a way to monetize their work on Tailwind.
Spending $250 in order to get a well implemented and well designed HTML and CSS framework for your app sounds like money well spent to me, depending on the circumstance.
If you're an expert or pro at CSS, then yes, that's expensive. But if you have a little budget and need to make some quick progress on a new site, it's a great deal. Hiring someone who can recreate these designs and give you exactly what you want is probably going to cost more than $250.
I'm saying you don't need that and almost nobody uses it. There are tons of snippets in the Tailwind documentation. I just scrolled down the side nav and clicked a page at random:
Ok, I can see how if you're used to relying on the Bootstrap examples[1] you would experience the lack of such examples as a big hole in the TW docs. I guess I would argue that those examples don't go very far at all in a real-world application.
I paid the $250 and it's an incredible time saver for prototyping & making decent looking, fully responsive internal apps for clients. Based on the number of billable hours saved, it's paid for itself many many many times over.
