    cssbundling-rails is great. I really love the PrimitiveUI CSS framework as a starting point.

    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/

    i have seen those in annotated javascript documentation. but it was the other way around. (comment on the left, and code on the right).

    they all seem to use docco[0] with the option to display comment in "parallel". the author of docco used it in their library underscore[1].

    Side note - it's been a while since i've seen a Docco-style annotated-source-style documentation! http://ashkenas.com/docco/

    Backbone.js was the first time i saw it, and I loved it! https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html It demonstrated to me that the libraries I use are just normal code that other people write, and i myself can read it to understand a problem.
