## What it is
tailwindcss-motion is a Tailwind CSS plugin by RomboHQ that provides a simple, composable syntax for CSS animations, including presets like fade, slide, bounce, and typewriter. It uses native CSS keyframes for performance and respects prefers-reduced-motion by default.

## Use cases
- animate elements in a tailwind project without writing keyframes
- add fade and slide entrance animations with utility classes
- use ready-made animation presets like bounce or typewriter
- make animations accessible for reduced motion users
- generate tailwind animation classes visually in the browser
- loop and exit animations for ui components

## When to choose
- you use Tailwind CSS and want declarative, utility-based animations
- you want native CSS animations without JavaScript runtime overhead
- you need built-in reduced-motion accessibility support
- you want quick presets for common animation patterns

## When to avoid
- you need complex JS-driven or scroll-linked animation timelines (use Framer Motion or GSAP)
- your project does not use Tailwind CSS
- you need physics-based spring animations
