**Adam Wathan** explained in his [keynote speech](//youtu.be/CLkxRnRQtDE?t=109) at Tailwind Connect 2023 how Tailwind CSS was born out of this sentence:

In June 2023 I had my final frontend rage-quit moment. The anger was so intense that I decided to change the direction of my career from a startup founder to a full-time OSS developer. I would devote all my time to fixing everything that is wrong with the current front-end ecosystem.

**Nue JS** is a tiny, 2.1kb min-brotlied library for building user interfaces. It's an alternative to frameworks like *Vue*, *React*, and *Svelte* — and it's the central piece of the [Nue ecosystem](/), which is a ridiculously easier alternative to *Next.js* and *Astro*

I still remember the exact moment when I discovered **jQuery**. It was a revelation: Can I suddenly add logic to my pages in the same way I add styling? I surely can — this must be huge!
