Build Interactive Tag Inputs with TailwindCSS and jQuery

TailwindCSS Tag Input System is a handy jQuery plugin that turns a simple text field into a clean, animated tag input.

Key features:

• Automatic initialization with simple class addition
• Multiple input methods (comma and Enter key)
• Built-in duplicate prevention
• Clean form submission with hidden input sync
• Responsive TailwindCSS styling
• Full keyboard navigation support

Perfect for skill inputs, product categorization, and content tagging. The API is straightforward and the component handles edge cases like empty inputs and accidental form submissions.
