Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no real problem, but I consider that installation steps could be easier to understand and adopt using the standalone cli.

Describe the solution you'd like
For example, with Django, we can ignore all the compressor stuff and only define 3 steps.

  • Install standalone tailwindcss
  • Add the js to base.html
  • Call in a terminal tailwindcss -i ... -o ...

Additional context
Tailwindcss standalone cli is an official way to use tailwindcss https://tailwindcss.com/blog/standalone-cli

This feature has some time but it still present nowadays.

Research direction

Locate the installation documentation for using Flowbite with Django and review how the current compressor setup is described. Update the relevant guidance to cover the standalone Tailwind CSS CLI and its three installation, template, and terminal steps; done when the simpler official workflow is documented clearly.
