mvp VS Pure

Buy a bootstrap theme, they're cheap and they offer a lot out of the box. Better solution than bare tailwind, which actually requires you to know how to design. I used tailwind on my personal website, result was good but I had to do a lot more than if I used a bootstrap theme.

You make your app ui work within the boundaries of your bootstrap theme and you're good for 96% of the design stuff.

It's amazing, you drop it and you have a theme based on the html only. I use this mostly for prototyping though

Like the previous submitter ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30885700 April 2022 ) I found clasless.css while investigating semantic html-oriented css libraries and this one stood out to me as having a good balance. I'm not ideologically opposed to using classes, but using them for every bit of styling seems off and I'd rather see good default styles for regular semantically structured html. For example, classless.css uses the "card" class for cards which don't have a clear analog in among standard html tags: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element

Other libraries:

Water.css: https://watercss.kognise.dev/

MVP.css: https://andybrewer.github.io/mvp/

Missing.css: https://missing.style/

i collect these for fun! adding to my collection https://github.com/sw-yx/spark-joy/blob/master/README.md#dro...

On a side note, you can throw something like water.css , tacit, or MVP.css for quick and easy styling and you just focus on the HTML.

Since this tool was just for testing, I wanted a simple CSS solution so that I didn't have to focus on styling. I went with MVP.css and Tailwind for small tweaks. It worked really well, but in the future, I'd like to take a look at Pico.css, which I just learned about from this Fireship video.

You could pay a front end dev to use a preexisting template.

Or, you could Google “classless CSS”, if you’re OK writing some HTML.

I made a plug and play CSS library here for those that don’t want to write CSS: https://github.com/andybrewer/mvp

I found Pure.css and it looks nice but maybe there is something better?

Some examples: - https://simplecss.org/ - https://purecss.io/ (I've used this one for over a decade and works great)

You can try https://purecss.io

Now, to test our CSP, we just have to load some external resources. Let's bring on Pure.css and Lodash. Update index.ejs to look like this :

Pure CSS

Personally I don't like either. Bootstrap seems too bloated and cookie-cutter, and Tailwind is inline styles and clutter. Lately I've used Bulma (CSS framework) and Buefy (Bulma + Vue) on a couple of projects. I also like the look of Pure CSS, but I haven't used it.

Pure.
