This is a similar project (by a friend), that recreates the look and feel of the outstanding UK Government design system:

https://gdcss.netlify.app/

Same idea and Pico (classless, simple, small etc).

This is great! I've added it to this big list[0] of classless/minimal CSS frameworks (100+ frameworks) to make it easier to compare to other similar projects.

For those interested in Pico (which is already on the list), you can preview it on some boilerplate HTML here[1] or use the Javascript bookmarklet[2] to preview how it would look on any arbitrary page, which can be helpful for prototyping a new site.

A lot of the lists (UL) break for many of the libs in the demos, including pico [1]. Also in pico, the cursor remains "default" instead of switching to "text selection" when you hover over text to select it - is that a style choice?

@dohliam do you have some favorites, ones with the least "errors" and non-standard paradigms?

This is very cool! Maybe 2 feature requests, if you're taking them:

- Have some popularity measure (github stars or otherwise) either in your list or hosted somewhere

- Have screenshot previews of anything, hosted somewhere (would be a bit quicker to browse through the list).

Thanks for sharing. The UK Gov design system is a delight for my aging eyes.

Both this and Pico are very inspiring. Looking through the gdcss docs was a lesson in itself - I was shown tags that I'd not previously known or thought about. Which is an admission that I tend to rely on (much to) large CSS frameworks to do their thing too much.
