I like the configuration part of the article, some of it I did not know. I also have issues in my company's codebase.

I want to introduce them to TailwindCSS so that we no longer dealt with CSS which gets messier over time.

Do you have any advice on how to go convincing them?

Thanks for the advice [Nirmalya Ghosh](https://hashnode.com/@krazzeniru20). I will surely try to do options 1 and 2 to showcase to my team.

Also, I wanted to ask, where do you create this excellent of window screenshots?

[Dinys Monvoisin](https://hashnode.com/@dinmon) I use [Screenshot Mockup](https://screenshot-mockup.vercel.app/) for these things.

This is an Open Source application which I had built a few months ago. [The code is available on Github](https://github.com/ghoshnirmalya/screenshot-mockup).
