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?

This CSS drop-in is themable, so you could pick colors you like and emulate it easily.

This is kind of funny to me because I wish more frameworks went this route then I can just override as necessary with my own classes and ids instead we end up with people creating new classes when they shouldnt need to or hacking together different classes and writing scope creep type of CSS.

I have often thought about a CSS "framework" that did this but never bothered to look it up never thought of the name classless since it seems most popular frameworks use classes and other things.

Hey, developer of both here. It's certainly not a light download, I understand. It's more of an effort to pull CDN requests to known unethical networks, namely Google Fonts, which are known to be used to track users between websites. I'll be more clear about this in the future, thanks for your opinions!

Any source about the unethical bit? Their privacy section looks good https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#what_does_using_the_...

It's a tricky problem. I've been battling with it on MVP.css ( https://andybrewer.github.io/mvp/ ) but I think I found a good solution for responsive tables with some help from the community.

I'm also interested in your tables solution. Also, is there an organized MVP.css community somewhere?

Feel free to ask questions or contribute on GitHub: https://github.com/andybrewer/mvp

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/

Thanks! Does anyone know how these stylesheets interact with other frameworks like bootstrap? If I want to use bootstrap in a website, can I still start with one of the above as the base style?

It might be an interesting question to ask why bootstrap couldn’t be mostly classless. I remember learning Bootstrap and thinking it was silly I had to add class=table to a table.

I love the terminal theme. I've been trying to do something that looks like an older terminal for a configuration page, and this version almost does it. Why almost ? The theme totally screws up wide tables. They bleed off the edge of the page, and there's no vertical scrollbar. Furthermore, widening the page just moves everything, including the table, to the right. The only way to see a wide table is to have a giant…

Thanks for the feedback gwbas1c. How would you recommend improving form support? I'd be more than happy to merge any improvements.

Just try new.css on a page with a very wide table. You'll see the problem right away.

I personally didn't dig into your css. If you can bring back the horizontal scrollbar at least it's a workaround.

That's my reaction as well... What am I missing? People really forgot that you can write a "reactive" website in pure HTML and that's what it was actually designed for?

Or did you mean "responsive" ?

Yes, responsive, sorry.

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

Also my reaction. If anything the response to this shows developers' adverse reaction (or stylistic deference) to CSS in general. IMO CSS is not that hard to grasp, although my bias/expertise might be getting in the way. There are plenty of CS concepts that are much more complex than understanding selector specificity.
