Would this be more correctly called a CSS "stylesheet"? Calling it a "CSS framework" really sent me in a loop trying to figure out what "framework" means.

  Modern CSS stylesheets include configurability via CSS variables on the root element so maybe that's where the "framework" comes from. Also note: This project looks like an even more minimized version of PicoCSS [1] [1] https://picocss.com/ https://picocss.com/

    Oh pico looks very nice - and something I am likely to actually use. concrete is a bit too minimal for me. I like the concept of classess css but most of the solutions I looked at (before pico) were just not very pleasing oob.

  Very good point, I modified the page. The project started-out non-classless, so the term was more appropriate back then.

  What you said is literally "Cascading Style Sheets stylesheet". Stick with "framework".

    Why? Would you call a DVD disc a spaceship?
    • bestest 3y ago
      Of course not. By I wouldn't say "DVD disc" because it's the same as "Digital Video Disc disc".

    Even W3C calls them "CSS stylesheets", it's pretty standard. It only sounds weird if you expand the acronym.

  the somewhat lost term "boilerplate" comes to mind
