Cutestrap is a tiny (2.7KB minified & gzipped) pure CSS framework built with modern CSS custom properties. It provides opinionated form styling, buttons, a grid, baseline-grid typography, theming, and a KSS-generated styleguide.

Use cases

• style a small website without a heavy css framework
• build consistent forms with minimal css
• theme a site using css custom properties
• generate a living styleguide from css comments
• keep page weight tiny on performance-sensitive projects
• use only parts of a css framework a la carte

When to choose

• you want a minimal, dependency-free CSS foundation under 3KB
• you need accessible, CSS-only form and button styling
• you prefer customizing via CSS custom properties
• you want a KSS-generated living styleguide

When to avoid

• you need JavaScript components like modals, dropdowns, or tabs
• you need a large component ecosystem or utility-class API like Tailwind
• your project requires an MIT-licensed dependency (v2+ is GPLv3)
• you need active, frequent maintenance
