milligram/milligram

Milligram is a minimalist CSS framework that provides essential styling with minimal overhead.

The framework solves the problem of bloated CSS resets and unnecessary styling rules by offering only the core styles needed for a clean starting point. It uses a lightweight approach that resets fewer properties than traditional frameworks, resulting in less code to override and faster page loads. The framework includes styling for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, and other common HTML elements, all delivered in a compact package.

Milligram suits developers building simple websites, prototypes, or projects where performance and code cleanliness matter more than extensive pre-built components. It works well for those who prefer to write custom CSS rather than rely on a comprehensive UI framework. The framework is particularly valuable for performance-conscious projects and situations where minimal dependencies are preferred. It is not designed as a full-featured UI framework with ready-made components; instead, it provides a foundation for developers to build upon.

The project maintains a stable, focused codebase with clear contribution guidelines and an established development workflow documented in the repository.
