Openkull CSS Library

Openkull CSS Library

I wrote my own CSS framework because I felt there wasn’t a lightweight option out there that could be used as a solid website foundation. Websites that use libraries like bootstrap oftentimes have developers who misuse it and have thousands of excess lines of CSS for features and elements their website isn’t using. Worse still, a lot of these developers spend hours “unstyling” bootstrap with soups of malformed and !important CSS rules. Used well, many of the CSS frameworks out there like bootstrap are very powerful tools, but for some projects I wanted a very lightweight and clean baseline to work from.

I highly recommend viewing the online documentation to learn more about it. It runs this very website, and many others.
