awesome-css-frameworks VS normalize.css

Agreed, find a class-less framework to start, so that you focus on just the HTML, semantic structure first. Here's a couple of lists of such frameworks:

Personally, I like simple.css (https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css)

Maybe not exactly what you‘re looking for, but you could give https://github.com/vinibiavatti1/TuiCss a try.

I need a minimal CSS framework to use as a basis to extend for a new project. I hate bloated CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Tailwind. My ideal CSS framework would have SCSS components, well thought defaults to deal with different device sized, a decent user-base, a pre-made darkmode and less than 20KB when minimized. I saw a list of css frameworks here, but none have all my criteria. So appreciate your suggestions.

4. Awesome Css Frameworks

Anything from here would probably suit your needs quite easily: https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks

You can have a look at https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks which is an extensive collection of CSS frameworks. Have a look at the "Class-less" section to checkout similar projects.

There is also an open PR to add Simple.css to the list: https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks/pull/85

In February 2018 I joined Dev.to 😎 and also I found the amazing Awesome CSS Frameworks. I was in love with all the world that existed apart Boostrap.

You can also consider using stylesheets like Normalize.css, Eric Mayer's CSS reset rules to establish a baseline layout across browsers.

4. Understanding the box model A thorough understanding of the box model is essential for effective CSS debugging. The box model, encompassing margin, border, and padding, plays a fundamental role in CSS styling. By familiarizing yourself with the box model, you can better identify and resolve many styling issues. Browser issues. Different browsers render our styling differently. This is because browsers have their own default stylesheets called user-agent styles. To override these inconsistencies you should consider resetting your CSS to provide cross-browser consistency. A good resource I use when writing vanilla CSS is Normalize CSS. For example, it resets the margin, padding to zero, and the box-sizing property to border-box.

In addition to the answers below about flex, grid and media queries, you can also additionally take a look to the "clearfix hack" (https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_clearfix.asp) which is a common issue when you position elements and also use something like Normalize.css (see https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css) to avoid some weird bugs in your front end.

is this github what you used? Seems like it hasn't been updated in a while

You can just download the normalize.css file from their Github, and then include it on your page(s) as the first stylesheet link. It will basically override the "default" styles of the various browsers so that you have a common starting point. That should handle various things like margins and paddings.

I want to use a CSS normalizer for the first time on a new project I'm doing, and in the code there is a couple -webkit-appearance properties that VSCode is telling me are not standard. However, when I search up if this is really a problem or not, I don't find anything saying yes or no. So... Is it actually a problem to use this property?
