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.

OTOH, deep-black backgrounds and green letters (with red/yellow/white highlights) is perfect if you're using an OLED screen. Maybe browsers need adjustable (and site-specific) brightness and contrast knobs, like monitors and TV's.

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).

Use the code " rel="nofollow">https://newcss.net/lite.css"> for the lite version, which uses the system font stack rather than importing one.

I think new.css is themable.

i have exactly the same issue. so many websites nowadays choose to have dark themes which are essentially black backgrounds with white text and it is physically painful to read. if i'm invested enough in the article, i always try to change the user styles a bit to make it more bearable.

Love dark blacks on OLED.

However sometimes a dark navy blue would be better.

I'm not entirely sure this can be called a framework. If there was a Bootstrap v0.1 it would be this, before it decided to do a whole bunch of extra things to become a framework. A few years ago you might have simply named it "reset.css", but it's too opinionated to really have that name. It feels like I would spend more time undoing what it does than would be saved by using it. I don't hate it... but I don't entirel…

They list use-cases:

> A dead-simple blog

> Collecting your most used links

> Making a simple "about me" site

> Rendering markdown-generated HTML

It’s when you have some basic HTML and just want it to look good.

Agreed that framework is a very unfitting descriptor for it though.
