Objections
Too trivial to be on the front page
From 2 comments
I'm confused. Why does this get to the front page and why does it have over 200 stars on github? I'm not a webdev at all, but this just looks like 100 lines of trivial CSS to me.…

Classless CSS frameworks like Sakura, MVP, Element
From 3 comments
There are more than a few of these classless CSS "frameworks" (couldn't we just call them stylesheets?). https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css These lists all seem to leave…
unicornporn on HNI like Sakura[1] for this use case -- it's opinionated, but I like its opinions! Doesn't appear to recognize dark mode, though. [1] https://oxal.org/projects/sakura/
chris_st on HNhttps://andybrewer.github.io/mvp/ is also a nice classless css library.
