Very cool project !

I created my own classless CSS framework[1] in the same vein. It adapts to your system’s dark/light mode and is under 1kb minzipped.

louismerlinon Blog with Markdown and Git, and degrade gracefully through time

I created a few years ago a blog that lived in the issues of the blog's repo [1].

Cool concept, although the content itself does not live in the git repo.

louismerlinon Get started with 2-minute rule

My grandma told me a similar rule she would use when working from home a few decades ago.

She was a patent translator, and when she did not feel like working, she drew a line on the patent where she felt like she would want to stop.

But never once did she ever actually stop at the line, she would always go past it, as the motivation would come while working.

I baked dark mode into my css microframework [0], and it's always so satisfying to see people using it !
