coolcss VS Milligram

To add onto this, CUBE has taken inspiration from Tailwind among many other things. And it's not alone... cool.css, Chakra-UI, and Stitches all take ideas from Tailwind because utility classes + design tokens are a very attractive abstraction while not being as heavy-handed as entire CSS frameworks without familiar lower-level conveniences. Maybe there're even more frameworks I don't know of.

Nicely done. I like this approach and rationale. I've taken a similar approach to custom CSS for sites, but have never taking the time to abstract it as is done here.

While I liked the overview on the home page, it took me a bit to find the actual CSS. A kind of 'component library' demo page (like the https://coolcss.dev/kitchen-sink/, but with the CSS class info displayed rather than using the dev-tools to explore) would be nice.

For now, just digging through this dir will give you a good idea of what's here: https://github.com/peruvianidol/coolcss/tree/main/_src/sass

Also, I can't decide if have the "oo" in "cool" stand for "Utility" is genius or madness.

I had been using similar projects such as skeleton[0] and milligram[1] for small experiments such as repfl[2], and wanted to create something similar that I would find aesthetically pleasing and that would fit in as little space as possible. The current version of concrete.css is less than 1kb minzipped!

Try this out. This is great for really simple projects. https://milligram.io

Thanks for sharing, I love minimalist CSS frameworks that are easy to digest. My go-to for the past ~5 years has been https://milligram.io -- mainly for the grid and basic styling -- although, the author hasn't updated it in a few years. I'm going to give yours a shot!

Do you know about Milligram, a "minimalist CSS framework" ? It's, in accordance with the name, lightweight like feather, and, in addition, beautiful. It is developed "to design fast and clean websites".

If you do want to use a framework and get up and running quickly, but you still want to know what's going on and have some ability to customize it, maybe you can start with one of the really minimal CSS frameworks like Milligram or Sakura and then add your own modifications.
