How many people actually use tailwindcss?
npm counted 169,086,282 downloads of tailwindcss in the last 7 days. That count includes every tarball fetch: registry mirrors, security scanners, CI pipelines and crawlers as well as people. humanloads estimates that about 169,083,594 of them (likely range 169,057,587–169,086,282) were real human installs, with high confidence. That puts less than 1% of npm's weekly count down to robots.

Is tailwindcss still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 34% over 3 months and up 458% over 11 months. Last week, 74% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 4, the latest one; the most used single version was 4.3.3, with 41%. Weekdays get 1.19× the downloads of weekends, so there is no clear work-week rhythm. Crawlers account for about 2,688 downloads a week, roughly 1 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with an honest confidence level.
