Tufte CSS VS Milligram

As it is often said in various designer forums, please avoid pure white (#FFFFFF) on black (here #111111), as it makes the text glow for the human eyes (therefore making it unreadable for long text). Instead, try to lower a bit the contrast on the text color.

Also, the dispositions for the buttons at the beginning (GitHub, NPM, ...) are not adjusted correctly for keyboard navigation (each button requires two tabs).

Appart from that, I do like a minimalist stylesheet, so I will also recommend Tufte CSS [0] for readers.

CSS and HTML is great for documents - not so great for applications. Most sites end up implementing their own navigation UI/UX at a minimum (an application) - many end up as more applications.

For an example of "documents", see eg:

Just for kicks, I applied Tufte CSS[0] onto the page using a browser extension. Great ROI.

A famous physicist, Richard Feynman, had a practice in his his extensive writing, e.g. a three-volume physics text, to use the methodology of sentences which then cumulate sequentially into paragraphs. (ht Ed Tufte)

I had been using similar projects such as skeleton[0] and milligram[1] for small experiments such as repfl[2], and wanted to create something similar that I would find aesthetically pleasing and that would fit in as little space as possible. The current version of concrete.css is less than 1kb minzipped!

Thanks for sharing, I love minimalist CSS frameworks that are easy to digest. My go-to for the past ~5 years has been https://milligram.io -- mainly for the grid and basic styling -- although, the author hasn't updated it in a few years. I'm going to give yours a shot!

Do you know about Milligram, a "minimalist CSS framework" ? It's, in accordance with the name, lightweight like feather, and, in addition, beautiful. It is developed "to design fast and clean websites".

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.
