User reviews

Users appreciate Windy for aiding Tailwind CSS learning and quick style referencing, especially when migrating sites. However, multiple reviews point out that it is outdated, lacks updates, and has poor support. The requirement of a paid license upfront frustrates users who cannot test if it suits their needs. The extension suffers from bugs, limited framework support, and usability problems like obstructive UI elements and incomplete copying of styles. While promising in concept, its current state leads users to seek alternatives or request refunds.

Pros

Helps users learn and migrate to Tailwind CSS by showing equivalents quickly, saving time.
Provides useful ideas and code that can be refined for frontend development.
Works well on simple or Tailwind prepared pages, showing potential in early beta stages.

Cons

The extension is outdated and no longer actively updated or supported by developers.
Requires a paid license key upfront without offering a free trial, leading to poor user experience.
Contains bugs and reliability issues, such as failing to copy styles properly or hanging.
Lacks support for recent frameworks or versions like Tailwind CSS v3 and React.
User interface issues, like overlays blocking page elements and inconsistent keyboard shortcut behavior.

Recent reviews

This is a paid plugin that worked great at first but it stopped being updated and is no longer supported by Chrome. I would expect a paid plugin to at least be updated enough to keep working, especially given how young the plugin is. I'll update this review if/when the plugin is updated.

It's useless. It asks you for a license key in order to use it. I don't even know if it's what I need, and this is the first thing I see when I open it. Very bad UX.

This plugin is no longer being updated and is not supported by the accountability team. It is also a paid plugin.
