What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI would call technical debt to writing it as you go, since there are many small bugs and inconsistencies that (hopefully) are fixed by these libraries. Just a couple of random examples:
- https://github.com/picnicss/picnic/issues/79
- https://github.com/picnicss/picnic/issues/64
So you can have a half-baked solution with 10 more minutes or use a tested and documented one and save 10 minutes.
In Pills: A simple responsive CSS grid for humans100% agree. Right now I'm deprecating the current grid based on ungrid in favor of a better float based grid [1]. I completely believe you, the most painful thing (maybe the only one?) for Picnic was definitely the grid, too many edges, no good model in css (and don't get me started on flexbox [2]).

In Ask HN: Best minimal CSS Framework for side projectAsk HN: Best minimal CSS Framework for side project
Hi,
I'm starting a small side project to learn web development and have fun.
Could you suggest a good CSS Framework for it?
My candidates are:
https://github.com/picnicss/picnic (it seems the most simple)
https://github.com/jgthms/bulma/ (very easy, but very minimal)
https://milligram.github.io/ (more complete)
Fot javascript I want to use Vue.js because it's easy, clean and I can control it.
Using Flask (Python) for backend.
12 points · Open discussionHi there, I am the creator of Picnic CSS [1], a 5kb library similar to this one. I love the page and the logo, really minimalist and clean. A couple of tips for the library:
- Subtle animations. It doesn't take many bytes, but it makes it look much better
- :active status gives visual feedback that you are clicking the element
- The grid doesn't accept gutter nor reversing order by css, which makes it not really mobile-friendly for alternating patterns in a page. There's not really a single good solution in css for both [2]
- <select> looks just like a normal input without down arrow in Firefox
Keep it up (:

In Milligram: A minimalist CSS frameworkAsk HN: GitHub thinks I'm a bot; what about my projects?
Github thinks that I'm a bot as they stated in big, red letters:
> One of our mostly harmless robots seems to think you are not a human.
> Because of that, it’s hidden your profile from the public. If you really are human, please contact support to have your profile reinstated. We promise we won’t require DNA proof of your humanity.
I get that, but then I open any of my projects in Incognito mode and they are all returning 404. Try it:
- Drive DB https://github.com/franciscop/drive-db 234 stars
- I Am Not A Lawyer https://github.com/franciscop/ianal 74 stars
Those two, for example, are listed in NPM. I have other projects listed in Bower. Fortunately I don't have anything in my personal account on jsdelivr, but I could. Does anyone know what happens to the NPM, Bower and jsdelivr when this happens?
