Middleman is a static site generator using all the shortcuts and tools in modern web development. In this episode, we look at creating a static site using TailwindCSS and one of the TailwindUI templates. We also take an interesting approach to keep the development experience close to one that we would expect in a Rails application.

The TailwindUI library provides static styled HTML examples, but this can be difficult to translate into a Rails application. In this episode, we take a look at one of the calendar examples and make it interactive with displaying days that have events as well as returning events on selected days.
