This thread motivated me to add a new "kind words" category to the Tailwind CSS discussions area on GitHub — maybe other projects can do the same:

Managing OSS stuff really is brutal, and the amount of negative stuff you hear is hugely disproportionate to the amount of positive stuff. Anything to encourage the happy users to speak up once in a while can go a long way toward preventing OSS maintainers from burning out.

The Tailwind project is a great example of modern OSS done right. It's managed and organized very well, and not to forget about all the related quality content (videos, streams). You and your colleagues are a great inspiration. Sorry to hear that you're getting so much discouraging feedback.
Pretty impressive community reaction in 15 hours! You guys rock!
Wow, it's really great doing so. Thank you for informing.
