Hi lormayna, I'm the creator of Picnic CSS, thanks for considering it! If you don't mind me asking, why did you consider using Picnic and why wouldn't you choose using it? I'm trying to improve it constantly and I'd really appreciate your opinion from the point of view of "learning web development" (:

If you have any question you can just reach me here or on github

When going to http://picnicss.com/documentation#checkbox on an iPhone (iOS 9.2.1), the checkmark doesn't hide when it's unchecked; it just gets bigger. So on your example, the default selected boxes just look like they have big checkmarks in them. Sorry I don't have the time to write an issue at the moment.

Bravo! Good job on the framework. I just browsed through docs and it seems perfect for what I need for my next project.

Imho it has all small css framework needs to have. Keep it small and fast!

I like PicnicCSS because it's simple, it's clean and it's nice. It has almost all the components that I need for my ideas.

Awesome, what components is it missing? If they make sense within Picnic's goals I might add them (:

A modal for example

Oh but there are modals: http://picnicss.com/documentation#modal

Edit: although the html is quite ugly, sometimes I wonder if I should just add some bits of js

A footer components would be great :)

Completely agree, I tried in the past but it felt too invasive. Maybe a few tamplates which include nav/footer layouts would be nice

a responsive grid that handles nesting is very difficult to do across the majority of devices. I ended up going with bootstrap after trying to find a minimal css framework that would handle all the different edge cases.

100% agree. Right now I'm deprecating the current grid based on ungrid in favor of a better float based grid [1]. I completely believe you, the most painful thing (maybe the only one?) for Picnic was definitely the grid, too many edges, no good model in css (and don't get me started on flexbox [2]).
