sakura VS classless-css

- https://github.com/oxalorg/sakura supports extremely easy theming using variables for duotone color scheming. It comes with several existing themes, which can be found in the css folder of this repository.

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.

I'm a fan of Sakura[0] for this purpose. About the same size, with a recently-added dark version, which can do the OS-choice switch without javascript.

I agree. That is why I actually just decided to use different css files for different themes in sakura.css [1] (it comes in at 3.8k / ~1.8k gzipped)

I also had friends who didn't want to understand CSS, and adding in media queries, variables, and dark mode support would only just confuse them even more.

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!
