CSS Migration Strategies
Prefer incremental migration: new components in Tailwind, convert hot paths next, keep legacy CSS until replaced.
Measure something
Track “components converted” or “CSS bytes removed,” not vibes. Migrations stall when success is undefined.
Owner and cadence
Pick a weekly conversion budget (for example, two shared components). Unscoped “we’ll migrate when we can” projects quietly die.
Escape hatches
Document the three things that stay in CSS. Engineers move faster when they know what not to force into utilities.
Try it
.example { display: flex; gap: 1rem; padding: 1rem; }Trust note: verify output visually. The converter is a draft helper for developers.
