12 CSS resources you may not know about ... ๐Ÿ”Ž ๐Ÿง

Hi web dev community ๐Ÿ‘‹

One day, I told myself that instead of cluttering my browser with bookmarks Iโ€™d never revisit, it would be smarter and more useful to share them publicly on a website. That must have been back in 2016. Since then, Iโ€™ve been regularly adding all the tools that seem interesting to me, and hereโ€™s just a small selection:


1. BeerCSS

Build material design in record time without stress for devs.

2. HyperUI

HyperUI is a collection of free Tailwind CSS components that can be used in your next project. With a range of components, you can build your next marketing website, admin dashboard, eCommerce store and much more.

3. Pico CSS

Minimal CSS Framework for semantic HTML. Elegant styles for all natives HTML elements without .classes and dark mode automatically enabled.

4. SimpleCSS

Simple.css is a classless CSS framework that makes semantic HTML look good, really quickly. By classless it means that there are no CSS classes anywhere in the CSS or the HTML. So your website can look just like this using plain old vanilla HTML.

5. UnoCSS

The instant on-demand Atomic CSS engine. UnoCSS is an engine instead of a framework because there are no core utilities - all the functionalities are provided via presets or inline configurations. We are imagining UnoCSS being able to simulate the functionalities of most of the existing atomic CSS frameworks. And possibly have been used as the engine to create some new atomic CSS frameworks!

6. Chart.css

Charts.css is a modern CSS framework. It uses CSS utility classes to style HTML elements as charts.

7. Tailblocks

Ready-to-use Tailwind CSS blocks. 15 different categories (ecommerce, blog, pricing and more...), responsive, dark/light mode, color variations.

You are promoting your own site instead of giving the actual website's link.

Hi, the link opens on a summary of the tool (with more details than here), and if you're interested, there's a button to go directly to the relevant site. ("Visit this tool's website" blue button, top right on desktop view)
