Description

🙋 feature request

I'm using Tailwind and Parcel 2 and every time I build I get this warning: Using a JavaScript PostCSS config file means losing out on caching features of Parcel. Use a .postcssrc(.json) file whenever possible.

However, when I delete the config file Tailwind no longer works.

Please will you add more detail to this warning, or a link to some Parcel documentation explaining what we have to do here to make it work.

Even a comprehensive answer in this issue would probably help people like me who are googling this warning and finding nothing :(

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the warning message in the Parcel source code, then find or create a documentation page explaining how to use a .postcssrc.json file instead of a JavaScript PostCSS config. Add a link to that documentation in the warning message.
