Basscss
Low-level CSS toolkit – the original Functional CSS library http://basscss.com
Lightning-Fast Modular CSS with No Side Effects
Basscss is a lightweight collection of immutable utilities designed for speed, clarity, performance, and scalability.
Stable
Basscss v8 is the final version of Basscss, which means no major, breaking changes will be introduced. Minor features and patches may be added, but due to the nature of this CSS approach, there are virtually no bugs in Basscss.
Features
Code with Confidence
Using clear, humanized naming conventions, Basscss is quick to internalize and easy to reason about while speeding up development time with more scalable, more readable code.
No Side Effects
Things behave exactly as expected with immutable utilities and styles that follow the open/closed principle to help prevent common pitfalls with CSS.
Composable
Reusable, interoperable styles work like building blocks to lay the foundation for any stylesheet and can be mixed and matched in any number of combinations.
Designed for Design
Basscss strikes a balance between consistency and flexibility to allow for rapid prototyping and quick iterative changes when designing in the browser.
Responsive by Default
Basscss provides lightweight, performant styles and flexible utilities to design for any device and to help reduce boilerplate in stylesheets.
Unassuming
Modular and customizable typography and layout styles don’t dictate what things should look like and play well with other stylesheets and frameworks.
