A starter kit for using Tailwind with Jekyll that includes:

• A barebones Jekyll starter theme
• A Gulpfile that does the following:
  • Compiles Tailwind
  • Runs Autoprefixer
  • Minifies your CSS
  • Compiles Jekyll
  • Runs Browsersync for local development

"Tailwind is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces." –Tailwind

"Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. Think of it like a file-based CMS, without all the complexity. Jekyll takes your content, renders Markdown and Liquid templates, and spits out a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache, Nginx or another web server." –Jekyll

$> firebase serve --only hosting

After you've tested the changes locally. To deploy:

$> firebase deploy --only hosting

Firebase Spark hosting caches the CSS file for 3600 seconds or 60 minutes. I've tried setting the Cache-Control header to no-cache. That doesn't work. The caching happens at the edge. I also tried appending a time stamp at build time to the style.css file but that didn't bust the cache either. Instead it's necessary to change the name of the css file in three places: rename the file to stylev{versionNumber}.css, then change the gulp file and the head.html include to reflect the new file name. This appears to be the only way to bust the cache.
