Looks good. Instant purchase, I’m just getting started with Tailwind, so this will help dramatically. Thank you @matt_sanders2 and good luck with the launch.

@craigcpaterson I actually started writing up a tutorial yesterday. It wasn't going to be a video, but I see that could be useful. I'll see what I can put together!

@matt_sanders2 that would be awesome, thank you. I’ve got a basic layout that I have created, but when I save it, it doesn’t display when I visit the page. I am probably being stupid a missing a step somewhere.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I started working on Gust after continually becoming frustrated with trying to build sites on WordPress that: - allowed me to adjust design & UI elements to suit the client's brand without adding a tonne of CSS overwrites or scattering !important rules everywhere - gave me the tools I needed to render custom data sets using existing UI elements - scaled well and didn't come with a truckload of supporting CSS - had a page builder that provided flexibility and granular control It was always one or the other. Maybe the theme would have a great page builder, but trying to add a custom element was near impossible. Or maybe we could customise the style of the elements within the theme, but only so far until the CSS got "dirty" and hard to maintain ( inline styles on elements anyone? Blurgh! ). Or maybe we finished the site and realised that the stylesheet was enormous and page loads were taking way too long. I had been working with Tailwind CSS in my React projects and really wanted to bring the scalability of Tailwind over to WordPress, but existing options required us to forego handy page builders and themes, and start from scratch. This was hard for us to maintain and hard for clients to use. So I decided to build the WordPress theme I always wanted, and that's how Gust came into being! - Every part of every element is customisable. - Components can be created, duplicated, updated, either in the UI or with WordPress filters and defined with JSON for easy re-use across projects. - We've got some components and templates ready to use out of the box, with more being added all the time. - WP Query is available right in the UI. If you need a more complex data structure, you can provide a WP filter to customise the data. - Gust will purge any unused CSS and regenerate the stylesheet as you build your pages, making sure that your stylesheet is tiny! Gust is ready to be used, but I realise that a project is never "finished" so would love to hear your feedback or suggestions. Enjoy! 🎉

Freaking love tailwindcss. Not a fan of WP though, but I see this as a must buy for WP devs or agencies.

@germa you've hit the nail on the head there. This is really designed for devs and agencies who are working with WordPress on the daily but want some more modern tooling to work with.
