Also Milligram. Super minimal, so much so even I can understand how it all works.

Milligram looks neat but it's not the same idea as utility first CSS framework like Tailwind and Tachyons.

Yeah that's definitely the case. I tend to use it as a minimal foundation and build on top.

I haven't used Tachyons but like Tailwind. My problem with utility-first frameworks is that I prefer to do my styling in Sass than by adding loads of classes to elements in the template.

Both are valid approaches though and I can see why people prefer both.

You can also apply TailwindCSS classes into any stylesheet preprocessor of your choice such as SASS[0] (@apply) then style it to your liking which is why I'm very delighted to use this instead of Tachyons.
