Despite its idiotic naming, I still use PureCSS[0]. Not sure why they keep maintaining it. I don't mind, nothing ever seems to change anyway.

How's your ten second evaluation of it?

I'm using it but it's such a pain in the arse to find anything else online about it.

It's one of the reasons I'm planning on moving stuff over to Pico.

Or now, I guess, just writing some CSS from scratch, which I hate.

Yes it is a pain. But the whole thing is like two pages, so I^H my LLM just reads it. I used to read it. It was ok readable (and I'm not very good at CSS).

I built https://purecss.com (not pure-css.github.io), maybe you'd find the site helpful? Currently it's 77 CSS patterns and another ~20 coming in the next few weeks. Each have a demo and the code underneath. Check it out and let me know if there's something you can think of that you'd like to see there. Happy CSS'ing!

So actually "pure CSS", and not the "pure.css" library that's so hard to search for? A lot of that looks pretty good!

Yea, exactly and thanks! I love making CSS things that were previously only possible with JavaScript. Carouses, accordions, toggle switches, etc. I love how powerful CSS has become over the last few years!
