## What it is
inuitcss is an extensible, scalable Sass-based OOCSS framework for building large, long-lasting UI projects. Rather than shipping ready-made UI, it provides an architectural baseline of settings, tools, and generic layers on which developers build their own styles.

## Use cases
- architect a scalable Sass codebase for a large web app
- set up an OOCSS foundation for a long-lived UI project
- get a structured CSS baseline without opinionated default styling
- organize styles into layers like settings, tools, and components
- bootstrap a custom design system on a proven CSS architecture

## When to choose
- you want a framework that provides architecture, not prebuilt UI
- your project is large and expected to last years
- your team works in Sass and values ITCSS-style layering

## When to avoid
- you need ready-made components and visual design out of the box
- your project uses plain CSS or CSS-in-JS rather than Sass
- you want a framework with frequent updates and active development

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: css-framework, ui-components, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: sass, scss, oocss, css-architecture, design-system, nodejs
