Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between React and Tailwind CSS?

React is a web framework (JavaScript library for building user interfaces), while Tailwind CSS is an UI or JavaScript library (Utility-first CSS framework). They sit in different categories (Framework and UI Library), so they can also be used together.

Can a website use both React and Tailwind CSS?

Yes. Tech Stack Detector detects each technology independently when you scan a site, so a single page can report both React and Tailwind CSS when both are present.
