## Description

TailScan is the ultimate developer tool for reverse-engineering and mastering Tailwind CSS. Simply hover over any element on any website to instantly reveal its underlying Tailwind classes.

Whether you're inspecting a beautifully designed button, a complex grid layout, or a sleek navigation bar, TailScan extracts the exact styles used and allows you to copy them with a single click.

Features: 
• Visual Inspector: Hover over any element to see its dimensions, padding, margins, and classes visually highlighted. 
• Instant Extraction: Copy the extracted design as a raw Tailwind class string, plain CSS, or a complete React JSX component. 
• Universal Compatibility: Works on ANY website, even if it wasn't built with Tailwind. TailScan reads the computed CSS and accurately translates it back into Tailwind utility classes. 
• History & Sync: Automatically saves your last 10 inspections so you never lose a design you liked. 
• AI Cleanup (Pro): Use our intelligent backend to automatically clean, group, and remove duplicate or conflicting classes from messy websites.

Stop guessing how a website was styled. Build faster, learn from the best designs on the web, and master Tailwind CSS instantly with TailScan.
