dropin-minimal-css VS simple.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)

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.

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.
