Ask HN: What is your CSS framework of choice?

4 points·stanislavb··4 comments

Hey mates, I will be compiling a list with the most loved and popular CSS frameworks soonish. I will highly appreciate if you share your CSS framework of choice. Please add a link to its repo within your comment if possible and a short reason why (it could a be one word - e.g. "Easy / Small / Modern / Responsive / etc.").

Many thanks!

For example, my current framework of choice is Bulma https://github.com/jgthms/bulma.

Why? - it is easy, simple to learn and stable. It gives you a solid basic structure and responsiveness as well as looking modern and being easy to customize.

Long time ago I was using https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap for work primarily and https://github.com/foundation/foundation-sites for side projects. Nowadays I use Bulma for everything

p.s. I still don't get the hype around https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I second Bulma as a good choice. It is currently the default CSS framework for the Luminus framework for Clojure.

I rarely use any of the popular CSS frameworks. Unless you are making a small(ish) website where the styling is not important, it is actually more work to customize an existing framework than to just use CSS yourself.

But what I do use sometimes is a CSS reset like https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css

And what I also use is this CSS boilerplate: https://github.com/frontaid/natural-selection (Disclaimer: I created it because I wanted to avoid the repetitive work of writing out all the selectors).

I use Bootstrap (simple and easy to use). I created Frontendor UI for Bootstrap to boost my productivity.
