I have to build a _lot_ of those across all sorts of contracts that I do.

Libraries like Pico CSS and htmx [0] let me do this incredibly rapidly, with it looking fine and working great, while keeping the maintenance burden low for the future

• sakura

  16 4,050 6.1 HTML

  :cherry_blossom: a minimal css framework/theme.

I agree. That is why I actually just decided to use different css files for different themes in sakura.css [1] (it comes in at 3.8k / ~1.8k gzipped)

I also had friends who didn't want to understand CSS, and adding in media queries, variables, and dark mode support would only just confuse them even more.

• BareCSS

  4 115 0.0 CSS

  A classless CSS framework

Reminds me of a framework I made 6 years ago (http://barecss.com). If this sort of thing comes back into trend I might go back and modernise it (https://github.com/longsien/BareCSS).

• Alpine.js

  243 27,094 9.3 HTML

  A rugged, minimal framework for composing JavaScript behavior in your markup.

That does 90% of what I need when sprinkling backend AJAX-y interactivity on a straight HTML page with a backend that sends JSON or HTML back.

For more jquery-esque fine-grained control:

I love both of these libraries.

• Water.css

  34 8,218 0.0 CSS

  A drop-in collection of CSS styles to make simple websites just a little nicer

On a similar vein, I'm a fan of water.css for small / quick projects: https://watercss.kognise.dev/

• dropin-minimal-css

  9 1,623 5.8 CSS

  Drop-in switcher for previewing minimal CSS frameworks

This is great! I've added it to this big list[0] of classless/minimal CSS frameworks (100+ frameworks) to make it easier to compare to other similar projects.

For those interested in Pico (which is already on the list), you can preview it on some boilerplate HTML here[1] or use the Javascript bookmarklet[2] to preview how it would look on any arbitrary page, which can be helpful for prototyping a new site.
