I'm not entirely sure this can be called a framework. If there was a Bootstrap v0.1 it would be this, before it decided to do a whole bunch of extra things to become a framework.
A few years ago you might have simply named it "reset.css", but it's too opinionated to really have that name.
It feels like I would spend more time undoing what it does than would be saved by using it.
I don't hate it... but I don't entirely see the point of it.

They list use-cases: > A dead-simple blog > Collecting your most used links > Making a simple "about me" site > Rendering markdown-generated HTML It’s when you have some basic HTML and just want it to look good. Agreed that framework is a very unfitting descriptor for it though.

I think I would like to see more websites entirely devoid of css, together with an evolving ecosystem of browser-side theme-like css rulesets to style and layout sites based on the page's semantics and everyone's unique preferences, like we style our desktops and terminals. But that's just my cloud cuckoo land, right?

- tylerchilds 6y agoThese types of stylesheets are sometimes referred to as Base Stylesheets. In practice, I've found its good to roll your own at some point, so you don't have to spend time undoing someone elses.
