## What it is
A tiny, bare-bones CSS reset providing sensible baseline styles for modern web projects, installable via npm or CDN. This GitHub version is archived; the author maintains an updated version on their site.

## Use cases
- reset default browser styles before writing custom css
- tiny css reset for a new web project
- normalize box-sizing and margins across browsers
- baseline stylesheet for a static site
- css reset with small gzip footprint

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, opinionated reset rather than a large framework
- you need a tiny baseline stylesheet via npm or CDN
- you prefer modern CSS features like text-wrap and logical properties

## When to avoid
- you need a full CSS framework with components and utilities
- you want an actively maintained repo - this version is archived in favor of the author's newer reset
- you need normalize.css-style broad browser compatibility fixes

- function: css-framework, ui-components
