 If you are running `rails tailwindcss:watch` on a system that doesn't fully support file system events, pass a `poll` argument to the task to instruct tailwindcss to instead use polling: `rails tailwindcss:watch[poll]`. If you use `bin/dev` then you should modify your `Procfile.dev`.
 
 
+### Using postcss
+
+The tailwind cli supports passing a postcss.config.js file. This might be necessary if you want to use postcss plugins (e.g. postcss-css-variables). This gem checks if a postcss.config.js exists, in which case it is used for building tailwind assets.

 ### Debugging with unminified assets
 
 If you want unminified assets, you can pass a `debug` argument to the rake task, i.e. `rails tailwindcss:build[debug]` or `rails tailwindcss:watch[debug]`.

+### Contributing
+
+If you want to fork this repo and test this gem locally in your projects, you will need to run `rake package` (the process this gem uses to generate platform-related gem versions, e.g. x86_64-linux, x86_64-darwin, etc). You can now point the local version of the gem in your Gemfile:

+```ruby
+gem 'tailwindcss-rails', '2.0.18', path: '/path/to/your/local/gem'
