What people are saying

I love little libraries like this. I currently use pico.css and will check this one out. This is what our standard DOM elements in the browser should look like. But given that…

From the project README

An excerpt from the repository, fetched Nov 13, 2026.

Read the project’s introduction
Classless CSS This is a list of classless CSS themes and frameworks. "Classless" means a style sheet does not define special classes you must add to your HTML elements to style these elements. As a result, you can style any plain-HTML page just by linking to the style sheet. This is useful, for example, in prototyping.

However, they either require something like <div class="container"> or a bit of your own CSS for a page to look right, or offer optional classes to style your content—possibly both. Barrel.css Repository Demo Chota Repository Demo matcha.css Repository Demo Milligram Repository Demo mini.css Repository Demo mono Repository Demo Picnic CSS Caution: Picnic CSS requires specific HTML structure to display certain elements. For example, it hides vanilla checkboxes and radio buttons. The structure serves as the effective class of the element. This means an existing project will have to modify its HTML markup for, e.g., every checkbox and radio button to start using Picnic. Repository Demo SASS-ZERO (Breadboard) A class-light variant of a CSS framework with classes. Made for Ruby on Rails.
