Introduction to Minimalist

Minimalist is a lightweight and modern CSS library designed to provide a simple yet elegant foundation for styling base HTML elements. It serves as a starting point for building websites and applications, offering thoughtfully crafted styles for the elements developers encounter most frequently.

For more information on customization and supported features, consult the official reference documentation.

Key Features

• Minimal and Elegant: Focuses on essential styles to ensure a clean and consistent visual foundation without unnecessary bloat.
• Modern Design: Leverages modern CSS features for better performance, flexibility, and compatibility with current development standards.
• Customizable: Uses namespaced CSS custom properties, allowing users to easily adjust and extend styles to fit their specific needs. Both namespaced variables and default values are thoroughly documented.
• Lightweight: Designed to maintain minimal complexity, size, and byte footprint, ensuring fast load times and ease of use.

What Minimalist Is Not

While Minimalist includes a small number of utility classes for convenience, it is not a general-purpose utility library and will not evolve into one. Its focus remains on providing foundational styles, not an exhaustive set of utilities.
