I was looking for a place where I can find CSS toolkits and resources, ready to be used like the popular Twitter Bootstrap.
Any tips?
Fast forward to nearly a decade later. With the rise of JavaScript front-end frameworks and an ever-changing landscape of technology and tools, a lot of folks are out there asking if Bootstrap is still relevant in 2021. The short answer is yes.
CSS is more complex than Bootstrap because there is no pre-defined class and design. Bootstrap is easy to understand and it has much pre-design class. In CSS, we have to write code from scratch. In Bootstrap, we can add pre-defined class into the code without writing code.
html5boilerplate is my favoured toolkit
Yahoo! have recently created Pure (source available on GitHub).
Pure provides:
It is very lightweight with a total footprint of 4.4KB minified and gzipped compared to Bootstrap's 20KB. It is accessible from a CDN that Yahoo! provides.
It has been created with the viewpoint that creating new CSS rules is preferred to overwriting/altering existing ones. Therefore it is shipped with minimal styles out of the box (hence the size) - you have to create your own.
