Can you give an example?

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but the compilation times are unacceptable, incremental compilation definitely doesn't work, and to top it off, postcss can get into a infinite loop and crash because it runs out of memory

yeah we do

also had issues with the watcher

ehh..

switched to using the play cdn in dev

I also had this idea, but how to transfer the configuration?

currently there is nothing there, so no problem, but in general it would be useful to be able to modify the theme

you can inline it, we do this in clerk

https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk/blob/28aa8a82581b9c63204df8c9803be2a9d75e5f61/src/nextjournal/clerk/view.clj#L36-L40

hack, but what a pretty one!

thanks Martin, if you guys do that, we can do that too 🙂

before that we used a patched version of postcss to fix the watcher

still looking for the link…

can’t seem to find it, maybe @U45J3R52L who did the work still knows what do search for?

ah, found it https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions/7840

https://github.com/nextjournal/tailwindcss/commit/3241dc201c37fc718d0c7c4989fd6c58e50b0cf6

but fwiw we’re much happier with the play cdn in dev now, one process less to care about

even with the debounce patch it was never 100% great

life of a clojure dev is simple but not easy...

I find more and more often I end up ditching internal file watchers and just leaning on a more general purpose shell thing like entr (http://eradman.com/entrproject/). so instead of npx tailwindcss ,,, --watch it's find target/cljs-out/**/*.js | entr npx tailwindcss ,,, (without the watch). Since tailwind went jit-by-default I don't find there's a lot of benefit to dev mode so I just run with minified production builds all the time. There's probably a way to pair it with a debouncing trick like https://github.com/MerkleBros/debounce.sh/blob/master/debounce.sh, so it only kicks in every 2-5s on the hot reload.

I ❤️ entr
