A single .css file with custom variables you can override using regular CSS. No build step.
Three breakpoints allow you to create responsive designs right from your HTML. Optional dark mode and high-contrast media queries.
Works with .css you have, and isn't designed to replace it.
Classnames use a consistent naming convention. It's based on CSS properties and can be quickly internalized. You'll be typing faster than any automcomplete or LLM.
Everything is based on modular scales for fonts, sizing, and spacing. Quickly find the right one for your UI, and know that everything will work well together.
Customize anything by setting CSS properties - no special configuration language needed.
Add your own classes and have MelangeCSS create versions for each media query or pseudo class.
MelangeCSS Isn't For Everyone
MelangeCSS works great when…
…you are building a web application.
…your team knows CSS and builds the complete solution from front-end to back-end.
…your designers don't hand you screenshots of apps, but instead provide visual treatments you can use to create defensively-designed components and screens.
…you are designing, styling, and building as you go…and you want to go fast.
MelangeCSS isn't right for you if…
…your designers hand you screenshots for you to produce with pixel-perfect fidelity.
…you have a dedicated front-end team that styles semantic markup produced by others.
…you can't control the markup.
…you are writing HTML directly with no templating system or web framework.
