I wanted to try this out a while ago. It should be possible, If you were planning on doing it, using the builtin OutSystemsUI won't be that easy but if you're planning on using your own components it should be doable.
I think the furthest I got with it was actually getting styling to work. Service Studio doesn't let you just import a CSS file, and crashed any time i tried to paste it in. You also do not get the benefit of tree-shaking, so you will be relying on the CDN css file, which is unfortunate.
Actually this is my though as new in Outsystem i'm just curios and im hoping soon they can also implement this
Hello there! Integrating Tailwind CSS with OutSystems can indeed bring a fresh and dynamic look to your applications. While it might not be as straightforward as with traditional web development, it's certainly possible. Here are some insights and guidance based on your questions:Experiences and Challenges:
Experience can vary, but developers have successfully integrated Tailwind CSS into OutSystems applications. Challenges might include adjusting the build process, as OutSystems relies on its own way of handling styles. However, with proper configuration, it's achievable.
Remember to test thoroughly and adapt your approach based on your project's specific needs. Feel free to share your own insights with the community as you progress, and good luck with your Tailwind CSS integration in OutSystems! 🚀Here are some Best CSS online learning plateforms:1.

Good friend. I think you’ll have to create new native OutSystems components and also load more CSS than OutSystems already supports.
I would choose to take this lib tailwindui only what I use.
An example of a change would only have to change the widget selector. The OS Switch uses the HTML input tag játailwindui uses the button.
They are small details that really would have to study before implementing.
