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.

But then, why not have this be defined by the client?

I think I would like to see more websites entirely devoid of css, together with an evolving ecosystem of browser-side theme-like css rulesets to style and layout sites based on the page's semantics and everyone's unique preferences, like we style our desktops and terminals.

But that's just my cloud cuckoo land, right?

This Github repository tracks a whole bunch of these drop-in CSS files: https://github.com/dohliam/dropin-minimal-css And you can use this demo site to switch between them all on the fly: https://dohliam.github.io/dropin-minimal-css/

Pity I cannot just receive vanilla mark up and pick a client side theme.

I'm pretty sure firefox has this feature.

the problem is no website offer custom css.

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

"Classless" also made my brow furrow when I realized they didn't mean, say, CSS components styled without a bunch of classes (a la Twitter Bootstrap) but rather, it just has no components. It's classless because it only styles some basic html elements.

I don't understand the claims re: font loading. > Vercel's impossibly fast CDN delivers new.css and the font Inter using xz/fonts, so there's virtually no bloat added to your pages. It's 300kb of font downloads, hardly light. And the xz/fonts page says: >Break your users from unethical tracking networks I'm still making a request to a 3rd party CDN with an origin header that says what page I'm looking at, so I'm not…

I guess the key word is “unethical”.

Tangentially related: I've been on the hunt for a CSS framework/drop-in that approximates the style of the Dracula theme – Dark background with bright, happy, bold, cotton-candy colors. Any suggestions?

1) I went searching for you and was quite impressed with how many apps and such that Dracula supports: https://github.com/dracula .. wow

2) I hope one of those helps you. I didn't see one specific to being classless or a framework for a website. But I did see a github-pages one that might be the closest?
