[!NOTE] This is a community-driven successor to the Pico CSS framework with a few simple goals:

  1. Maintain pico minimally until its creator returns.
  2. Focus exclusively on the pico.css version, similar to how simple.css is maintained (for Sass version check @Yohn's fork instead).
  3. Keep all non-original additions in blades.css, shipped as pico.blades.css — a drop-in compatible replacement for pico.css.

Limitations

Pico CSS can be used without custom CSS for quick or small projects. However, it’s designed as a starting point, like a “reset CSS on steroids”. As Pico does not integrate many helpers or utility .classes, it requires CSS knowledge to build large projects.
