## What it is
hack.css is a dead-simple, markdown-inspired CSS framework offering several themes (markdown, standard, dark, solarized-dark) and a flexbox-based grid. It is distributed via npm or CDN and applied by adding a class to the body element.

## Use cases
- style an open-source project homepage quickly
- give a static site a markdown-like hacker aesthetic
- add a dark theme to a simple website
- lay out content with a lightweight flexbox grid
- style documentation or a blog with minimal CSS

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, zero-config CSS stylesheet
- you like markdown-style typography for docs or project pages
- you need a tiny framework without build tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a full component library with interactive widgets
- you require extensive theming or design customization
- you need a modern utility-first or design-system framework

## Facets

- function: css-framework, ui-components, theme
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser
