Can you really use Tailwind CSS with Rust??

In the second episode of my Topcoat series, we explore the Assets and UI examples from Rust’s new full-stack web framework.

We’ll see how to bundle and serve local images, generate Tailwind CSS directly from utility classes inside a Rust project, use hot reload, render inline SVG icons with Iconify, and load custom fonts in a Topcoat application.

If you’re a JavaScript developer curious about Rust web development, this might surprise you.
