dropin-minimal-css VS Milligram

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)

I think picocss is the best classless CSS framework, but there a bunch of others:

Nice work! I like that you have included support for prefers-color-scheme, which is one of the more highly-requested features for these kinds of frameworks.

I've added Lissom to the big list of minimal CSS frameworks [0] which aims to collect all of these types of projects (more or less) in one place for ease of discoverability and comparison. You can preview the CSS on some HTML5 boilerplate here [1].

Here is the list of CSS that work out of the box either with pure HTML, or with minimal amount of classes. Many can be tried in a matter of seconds via unpkg.

Makes it just so easy to switch and select. Embed in your html page, select an item from the drop down and see what it does to the page, when you’re happy, remove ! Simple. Genius. Wonder why I never thought of it.

Also has a demo page [2] to try it out

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.

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.
