PaperCSS

I got tired of mODerN STylEs and clean pages on the internet. I also wanted to learn more about Flexbox and Less. So I made PaperCSS to solve these two challenges of mine :)

Trendy hues, broken views

Witness the Web fractured by boutique fads over baseline utility. Here, a rogue CSS framework forces the new OKLCH color space without a classic fallback, leaving an illegible mess on browsers just a few years old. All for a myopic engineering fetish: chasing wide-gamut shades mainstream sRGB screens cannot even deliver. Think of school labs, public libraries, policy-locked workstations, and refurbished PCs. Think of users sick of sprinting on the upgrade hamster wheel. Style — once a mere veneer over accessible content — devolves into an elitist gatekeeper, segregating people into first-class and forgotten.

What is PaperCSS?

I got tired of mODerN STylEs and clean pages on the internet. I also wanted to learn more about Flexbox and Less. So I made PaperCSS to solve these two challenges of mine :)

The goal of PaperCSS is to be as minimal as possible when adding classes. For example, a button should just look like a paper button. There shouldn't be a need to add a class such as paper-button. Because of this, adding PaperCSS to a markdown generated page should instantly paper-ize it.

While I'm proud of how it's turned out so far, I think there's a lot that can still be done to make it better. Such things as refactoring, adding more utility classes and more border types (like dashed/dotted) could really polish off this framework. That's why it's open sourced and available for pull requests!

If you are new to Git or Less, this would be a great project to get your feet wet with. I'd be happy to help walk you through the pull request process.
