  • classlesscss

    CSS with few but great styles for basic HTML5 tags

  • Water.css

    A drop-in collection of CSS styles to make simple websites just a little nicer

  • 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/
