What are the best lightweight CSS UI libraries containing widgets like tabs, trees, etc.? I don't have webdev experience (only GTK, etc.), but I need to write a web dashboard. I tried looking around but the only alternatives seem to be either bloated JS frameworks or abandoned experiments.

Tailwind might not be the most perfect fit, but it's "just" CSS.

no suggestions in this reply, nor can I speak to if this is a good or bad idea, but you may like to learn about "classless css frameworks", basically just targeting the html5 semantics

also, https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks

others may give you a _real_ recommendation. cheers

How invested in CSS do you want to be? If you're just wanting to include someone else's .css file and then assign classes where needed, that's one way to go. However, CSS isn't as daunting as many people make it out to be for the vast majority of a user's needs--adding colors, borders, padding/margin, and other basic styling. Looking to use CSS for layout is where things can get "interesting", sometimes challenging, and sometimes arghhhh!

I've hand written the CSS for all of the sites I've worked on, and the CSS is smaller than some all encompassing library. Plus, I'm much better at CSS. But I decided I wanted to invest that effort. No shame if you don't

I am using this in production!: https://khang-nd.github.io/7.css/

Of course, it's only for my own invoicing/crm system. I started on replacing the look and feel of everything with a flat more modern/less user-friendly equivalent by downloading the static css and modifying it to look like material UI designs.

This looks nice, thanks!

Why you didn't use progress or meter for progress bar?

why make everything need a class rather than just styling the DOM elements directly. Why wrap a checkbox into a div rather than just a ?

why did you skin the cat that way when there's 98 other ways to do it?

maybe there's a logical reason more than "that's just what came to mind", maybe not. that's the beauty of the whole thing. there is no one way
