Ask HN: No JavaScript web UI framework?

I've enjoyed bulma in the past: [1] https://bulma.io There are a bunch of others I haven't used in a long time: [2] https://getbootstrap.com [3] https://get.foundation Many people also like tailwind, but it's very opinionated: [4] https://tailwindui.com

+1 for Bulma. I'm a backend developer but when I was introduced to Bulma I finally felt like I could make a not completely ugly frontend to get something simple done.

Without Javascript, a "web UI framework" is effectively just a CSS framework.

no thanks. javascript is simply better than CSS framework and less messy

They solve different problems

If you are new to development, I advise you to do not to use any framework, give time to yourself use vanilla CSS and JavaScript so you will learn them the right way. I know some people who can't differentiate between Tailwind classes and HTML/CSS, they was thinking that Tailwind is CSS because they directly started learning it first, that's not the right way in my opinion.
