🔗 Build a Glassmorphic Navbar with TailwindCSS backdrop-filter & backdrop-blur - Braydon Coyer

Glassmorphism, a design trend that spiked in popularity in late 2020, is a methodology where a background-blur is applied to an element, giving it a sense of translucency and distinct perspective from its surrounding elements.

While the design trend has only recently gained traction, it is something we’ve seen before, even in widely used systems (I’m looking at you, Windows Vista). What's old is new, I guess.

I'm all for trying new things and one of the things I did over the weekend was utilize the new backdrop utility classes in TailwindCSS v2.1 to give my website's navbar a frosted glass feel! It turned out so well, I thought I’d show you how to make this yourself! Check it out!
