+# React + Tailwind Fast
+
+This template provides a minimal setup to get React working super fast in CodeSandbox's browser environment while retaining Tailwind CSS capabilities.
+
+## Notes & Arrangement
+
+Normally, a React + TailwindCSS template relies heavily on the PostCSS plugins, which require running a backend-based Sandbox (a Devbox VM). That can take some time to start and refresh.
+To give you an instant-refresh experience, this template uses **UnoCSS**. UnoCSS has an out-of-the-box Tailwind preset (`@unocss/preset-uno`) which acts as a drop-in replacement for Tailwind but is faster and simpler to run inside the CodeSandbox standard browser bundler.
+
+- Instant spin-up in the browser
+- Tailwind syntax fully supported via UnoCSS
+- Powered by Vite
+- Fully Typed via TypeScript
+
+## Expanding the ESLint configuration
+
+If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type aware lint rules:
+
+```js
+export default {
+  // other rules...
+  parserOptions: {
+    ecmaVersion: "latest",
+    sourceType: "module",
+    project: ["./tsconfig.json", "./tsconfig.node.json"],
+    tsconfigRootDir: __dirname,
+  },
+};
+```
