Hey everyone! I'm diving into a project using Symfony and PostCSS, and I really want to maintain full control over my design while also having a framework to help with the basic structure and layout. I installed Tailwind thinking it might be useful, but I'm a bit unsure. I'm more familiar with SCSS than with standard CSS, and I'm wondering if Tailwind works with SCSS. I'm specifically looking for something that provides pre-made classes for layout while allowing me to craft my own design identity from scratch. Any thoughts on if Tailwind is a good choice for this, or should I consider other options? Thanks!

If you're looking for simplicity and just need basic layout help without delving into complex grids or media queries, you might want to give Skeleton a try. It's super lightweight and focuses solely on layout, so you can handle the design all by yourself without the overhead of a full framework. Just import it into your SCSS and layer your styles on top.
Tailwind can work with SCSS, but it’s really designed to minimize the use of custom CSS by providing predefined utility classes for just about everything. If you're only looking for basic layout help while still wanting to design your styles separately, it might get a bit tricky. You might want to look at using PostCSS as it's recommended with Tailwind, since they aim to replace a lot of the custom styling you'd typically do with SCSS. Just more to juggle and it could get messy mixing styles.
Yeah, I agree! It can get confusing having two different systems. Maybe consider a component library instead that allows custom design.
That sounds like a solid alternative! Skeleton seems to be a great choice for responsive design without complicating things.
