## What it is
A Django package that integrates the Tailwind CSS framework into Django projects via a management-command-driven theme app. It supports both npm-based and standalone-binary installation modes, hot reloading, and optional DaisyUI integration.

## Use cases
- add tailwind css to a django project
- style django templates with tailwind without node.js
- hot reload css and django templates during development
- set up tailwind v4 in django quickly
- use daisyui components with django
- run django and tailwind dev servers with one command

## When to choose
- you are building a Django app and want Tailwind CSS with minimal setup
- you want hot reloading of styles and templates in Django development
- you prefer avoiding a Node.js toolchain via the standalone binary mode

## When to avoid
- your project is not Django-based
- you need a custom, non-opinionated Tailwind build pipeline
- you use a Python or Django version older than the supported minimums
