Clean, minimalistic look; inline text blocks look good
From 3 comments

Useful for simple static pages and auto-generated HTML

nawgz on HNThe range/output that display 0 or 100 but don't touch the ends of the slide rubs me in a very wrong way. Besides, nice style.

Not really a library, just a stylesheet
From 3 comments
Maybe it was just in the German speaking world, but such projects were called "template" or "boilerplate" ~10 years ago. When did we start calling them libraries? It doesn't add…
