john-doe VS classless-css

I really like the John Doe template. Everything is in one HTML file and one CSS file: https://github.com/cadars/john-doe/

From the readme: “This setup is databaseless, javascriptless, and buildshit-free, so you can edit your website with a text editor and upload it somewhere like a normal person.”

I'm following this guide to use #anchor and :target selector to have multiple pages in a single HTML file, for fun. However, I'm not sure how to show my home page anchor by default. From reading the source code, the author does that by just doing:

The author of the site linked in the article suggests a couple of Markdown options for this on their blog page [1]. In this, they link a port of their website as a Jekyll theme [2].

Thanks! It's built mostly with :target (like https://john-doe.neocities.org), :focus-within to select the parent element of the :target, input:checked radio buttons for the thumbnail sizes, and counter() for the pagination.

I dug through a ton of these for several days before finally deciding to just make my own...

All the lesser known ones tend to not be very extensible or themable beyond basic color changes, and they're a little too extreme about pure semantic HTML.

This guy has a really good roundup with last commit and GitHub stars info:

Currently working on getting some issues with their test case ironed out to get mine (https://eternityforest.github.io/barrel.css/) included.

No style attributes. You just use HTML markup and use a classless CSS framework to take care of making it look nice. My favorite is Marx, but there are others you can find here: https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css

Water.css, MVP.css, sakura, and Tacit are among the most popular.

Literally as easy as:

And before you say I should do that myself, again, if you want your work to be comfortable to read for the world, the bare minimum involves legibility.

Not op but classless CSS frameworks are awesome. The idea is to keep it simple and use the appropriate HTML tags where there were generally meant to go, and the framework will theme the page to improve usability and add flair. I've developed some great little sites with no classes at all!

Obviously this approach has its limits, but it works well for proof-of-concept sites or sites that don't need to be very complex or dynamic. Just a sensible font size, nicer looking form elements, etc.

Skip the CSS bit and use classless CSS framework: https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css

I have used water.css, simple.css and Tufte.css and all of them are great.

Create a folder inside /output called assets. Move the stylesheet.css inside. You can also use an external css like bootstrap, or use a single file css. There is even a css based on Nier!
