Can you please upload a short video on how to use the route thing in React with electron? I have been trying for the past 4 hours by watching tutorials and trying to read the react docs and nothing is working. Your tutorials are so easy to understand and directly to the point !

This was a godsend. I was struggling so much trying to connect Tailwind to my already made electron + vitejs project. Any idea why Bootstrap worked for that project, but when installing tailwind it all just went to hell? The main problem was that Electron didn't really recognize that the generated /dist files were for the body in the css case. Then, it tried finding files in C: instead of dist/assets/. I tried using base ref and every solution under stackoverflow and chatgpt, but to no avail.
