Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v2.4.9

Published

Fully compatible and actively maintained successor to Pico CSS.

Readme

🥷 Blades  

Fully compatible and actively maintained successor to Pico CSS.

Introduces float labels, breakout container and other modern, opt-out helpers. Simply switch pico.css to blades.css OR use blades.standalone.css with other frameworks.


Quick start

There are 4 ways to get started:

A. Install manually

Download CSS archive and link css/blades.css in the <head> of your website.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blades.css" />

B. Usage from CDN

<link rel="stylesheet" href="
  https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/blades.min.css
"/>

Live example: https://github.com/pallets/website/blob/main/src/pallets/templates/layout.html

Full list of CSS files available on CDN: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/


C. Starter projects

  • https://subtle.blades.ninja/ 11ty micro-starter
  • https://start.11ty.blades.ninja/ 7-in-1 starter (including Tailwind)
  • https://getgrav.org/ v2 now features Blades CSS in its default theme (Quark2)
  • https://jekyll.blades.ninja/ starter

D. Install with NPM

npm install @anyblades/blades

You can use precompiled Pico+Blades CSS (same as CDN version):

<link rel="stylesheet" href="
  node_modules/@anyblades/blades/css/blades.css
" />

Or import standalone Blades CSS sources (without Pico CSS):

@import "@anyblades/blades/standalone";

Live example using Tailwind: https://github.com/anyblades/buildawesome-starters/blob/main/site-tailwind/styles.css

To install and import both Pico+Blades CSS sources at once:

npm install @anyblades/pico @anyblades/blades
@import "@anyblades/pico";
@import "@anyblades/blades/standalone";

This is exactly how Blades CSS is built itself: https://github.com/anyblades/blades/blob/main/src/blades.css


Appendix

Starter HTML template

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blades.css" />
    <title>Hello world!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <main class="container">
      <h1>Hello world!</h1>
    </main>
  </body>
</html>

Standalone versions

Most of internal Blades CSS modules are available as standalone helpers, giving you flexibility to use them with other CSS frameworks:

| Module | CDN | Import from NPM | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Breakout container | https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/breakout.min.css | N/A | | Link icon | https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/link-icon.min.css | N/A | | Responsive table | https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/responsive-table.min.css | N/A | | Float labels https://github.com/anyblades/float-label-css | https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/float-label.min.css | npm install @anyblades/blades @import "@anyblades/blades/float-label"; | | All above together | https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/blades.standalone.min.css | npm install @anyblades/blades @import "@anyblades/blades/standalone"; | | Reset/normalizer https://github.com/anyblades/pico | https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/pico@2/css/pico.min.css | npm install @anyblades/pico @import "@anyblades/pico"; | | Experimental "ninja" add-ons | https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/blades.ninja.min.css | npm install @anyblades/blades @import "@anyblades/blades/ninja"; |
