Ask HN: Styling Your Personal Apps – DIY or Ready-Made?

As a backend dev who's been nosing around frontend land for my side projects, I'm curious to know how you approach your CSS

- Are paid templates your thing, or do you stick with the free stuff? - Bootstrap themes, or do you Tailwind it from scratch? - Do you reuse your styles or create a fresh one every time?

What works for you? What doesn't?

PS: Any must-have resources are also greatly appreciated! :)
