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:

https://github.com/dohliam/dropin-minimal-css

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.

Creator of Simple.css here.

Thanks for all the feedback and comments here, folks. It really is appreciated.

I’m not a professional web designer - this just started off as a personal project that I ended up publishing as people I shared it with seemed to like it.

I’m taking on board the various feedback from people much more knowledgeable than I here, again I really appreciate it.

If you do have feedback/changes I’d urge you to log an Issue or a PR on Github[1].

Also great to see so many other minimal CSS projects that I wasn't aware of. I’ll have to add an alternatives page to the site, I think.

Simple.css includes the basics to get going at the moment, but I intend to add more to it as time goes on. If you want to contribute, please feel free to submit a pull request. Contributing guidelines can be found here.
