Tailwind plugins allows Tailwind to do so much more than it does out of the box.
For example in Tailwind 0.7 they added the ability to add custom variants via plugins:
tailwindlabs/tailwindcss#505 (comment)
Would be great to have the ability to both create a plugin for personal use, using a blueprint such as ember g tailwind-plugin which would put the plugin in a plugins/*.js directory
Another thing that we could potentially add is a blueprint such as ember tailwind install new-plugin which would install the plugin from NPM and wire it up for usage, handling things like requiring it in the tailwind/config.js
This is really awesome! I used it to add a direction variant so that you can do rtl:ml-2 ltr:mr-2 for example and it will do either one depending on the [dir] of the parents
