Crazy. This isn't a "framework". It's a stylesheet.

This seems like a decent boilerplate+extras but line 1 is importing a custom font. Why?

Unnecessarily opinionated and against the "lightweight" aims of this library (not knocking Inter btw - it's awesome).

5 comments with 5 alternatives so far. Oh the irony.

Nice huh, it shows that ecosystem is really strong?

Looks nice. I checked the network tab to see how light the page newcss.net really is. ~600kb looks good but interestingly enough, the favicon is the biggest asset.

This looks more like an attempt at criticizing the bloat people add to their websites basically just to change the font from Times New Roman. I can't really see this competing with bootstrap, since it lacks all the custom components.

There is a lite version (which I think does not import the font)

It might be just me but I can't look at websites with black backgrounds and white or yellow letters. My eyes hurt and when I turn my head elsewhere I can see shadows of the website for a bit. I use dark(ish) themes everywhere but such high contrast somehow is too much.

Checkout https://github.com/kognise/water.css I find water.css to be the prettiest of the classless bunch.

This looks to be using the new css variables (well, new to me - I was checking on the state of the art in css just recently). I was looking into how you can do components now and this stuff looks pretty interesting, though styling of nested components using these techniques looked a little...hairy. Has anyone used these in anger?
