What is the best way to standardize UI components with Tailwind?▼

The best way to standardize UI components with Tailwind is using CVA-based components within a CSS-first design system. This enforces semantic token usage and accessibility, preventing inconsistent UI in large codebases.

How do design tokens work in a CSS-first Tailwind workflow?▼
