### External Services

Winden provides optional integration with external services for loading third-party
Tailwind plugins. Core features work entirely offline.

**Third-Party Tailwind Plugins:**

When you use the `@plugin` directive with an external URL in your CSS configuration,
Winden fetches the plugin module at compile time. For example: `@plugin "https://
esm.sh/daisyui@5";`

 * Only activated when user explicitly adds a `@plugin` directive with a URL
 * Supports any ESM-compatible CDN (esm.sh, unpkg, jsdelivr, etc.)
 * Plugin fetching only occurs during development mode compilation
 * In production mode with dev mode disabled, no external requests are made
 * No user data or site information is transmitted

This is a great plugin to make my design system work easily with Gutenberg. I always
found it difficult to use custom classes and design system in gutenberg and this
plugin just solved my issue. Bingooo!
