simple.css

Ah, the author is Kev Quirk! I really enjoyed his SimpleCSS project: https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css I also relate to this post: tried to make Firefox my default browser for years, but slowly Brave became my default browser over time due to its adblocking abilities and general speed. That said, Brave is a bit of a UI mess out of the box, with too many of their unnecessary "features" like their wallet and crypto BAT stuff being shoved at the user. I think they're slowly realizing that their user base just wants a straightforward adblocking privacy browser though. They released "Brave Origin" recently, which is a paid app on some platforms, but at least cuts out of all the unnecessary baggage.

Not the author, but thought it was pretty nice. - https://github.com/DigitallyTailored/Classless.css I know this isn't the first, I have this note from a previous HN discussion: - https://github.com/andybrewer/mvp - https://github.com/kognise/water.css - https://github.com/xz/new.css - https://github.com/vladocar/Basic.css - https://github.com/oxalorg/sakura - https://github.com/igoradamenko/awsm.css - https://github.com/hawkz/gdcss - https://github.com/emareg/classlesscss - https://github.com/vincentdoerig/latex-css - https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css - https://picocss.com/examples/preview/ - https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css Aggregate tool: https://dohliam.github.io/dropin-minimal-css/

I don't know if it has its place here but for a minimalist static website, here is my approach: - create a simple html template using simple.css [0] - write markdown files - wrap pandoc [1] in a simple bash script to manually convert markdown to html - and that's it. By minimalist, I mean: no script, no component, no database, no react, no SEO. The result is a minimalist website that you write in markdown. It's very limited compared to full-featured frameworks, but it can do the job for a simple website. Here is mine: [2] (I'm not a web developer at all).

Agreed, find a class-less framework to start, so that you focus on just the HTML, semantic structure first. Here's a couple of lists of such frameworks: https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks#class-less https://github.com/dohliam/dropin-minimal-css Personally, I like simple.css (https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css)

On the basis of great work of [simple.css](https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css) and [Nicole White](https://github.com/nicolewhite/nicolewhite.github.io_old), only 10KB css file is needed (2.91KB transfered if you minify it ), no jQuery or Bootstrap at all. * one html (1.46KB transfered / 1.86KB size) * one css (3.91KB transfered / 10.42KB size) * *optional* GitHub/mail/rss icons * *optional* favicon In my personal [blog](https://tsai002.github.io), I make these svgs and favicon inlined to html so that only two requests required: * one html(6 icons included) (5.97KB transfered / 10.05KB size) * one css (2.91KB transfered / 7.08KB size)

Creator of Simple.css here. Thanks for all the feedback and comments here, folks. It really is appreciated. I’m not a professional web designer - this just started off as a personal project that I ended up publishing as people I shared it with seemed to like it. I’m taking on board the various feedback from people much more knowledgeable than I here, again I really appreciate it. If you do have feedback/changes I’d urge you to log an Issue or a PR on Github[1]. Also great to see so many other minimal CSS projects that I wasn't aware of. I’ll have to add an alternatives page to the site, I think. [1] https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css
