## What it is
CodyFrame is a lightweight SCSS/CSS front-end framework for building accessible, bespoke interfaces using CSS custom properties and utility classes. It pairs with a library of progressively enhanced HTML/CSS/JS components and visual Global Editors that generate SCSS.

## Use cases
- build an accessible custom design system without overriding framework CSS
- kick-start a website with a lightweight SCSS framework
- generate color palettes, spacing, and typography scales as SCSS variables
- add accessible UI components to any CSS framework project
- set up a Gulp-based front-end development workflow

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, easy-to-learn CSS framework built around CSS custom properties
- accessibility and progressive enhancement are priorities
- you prefer bespoke designs over utility-class-heavy styling

## When to avoid
- you need a React/Vue component ecosystem or JS-heavy framework
- you prefer utility-first styling like Tailwind CSS
- you need a framework with frequent updates - this v3 repo is superseded by CodyFrame v4
