    There is always new stuff to learn with this. I've been writing CSS for 20 years now and I'm still learning new stuff. If you haven't yet worked with SASS / SCSS, definitely look into that. It's a huge time-saver. My favorite current SCSS framework is Primitive UI ( https://taniarascia.github.io/primitive/ ). I've tried other frameworks (Bootstrap, Tailwind, Zurb Foundation) and they're all very...noisy. Primitive UI is a nice reset and keeps your source clean. Use whatever you like, of course.

    I don't know if this is a thing or not, but does it exist a kind of boilerplate for writing documentations for CSS frameworks? An example I could find was this: https://taniarascia.github.io/primitive/

    SASS is a CSS preprocessor that is designed to be used as a standalone preprocessor, or as part of a framework called Compass. SASS for CSS is very similar to CSS, for creating CSS files that are more easily readable and maintainable than traditional CSS files. In the next chapper, we will learn how to use SASS to create a simple CSS file.

    Soon after, Chris Epstein, the creator of Compass and co-creator of Sass, forked Brandon’s repository and asked for some help with the design. Being a big fan of Chris’s, Brandon jumped on the opportunity straight away. He pulled out the content, made the theme more generic, and named his creation Octopress.
