## What it is
MVP.css is a minimalist classless CSS stylesheet that styles semantic HTML elements out of the box, with no class names or framework conventions to learn. It is distributed as a single ~10kb CSS file that can be linked via CDN, npm, or downloaded directly, making it ideal for rapid prototyping and MVPs.

## Use cases
- style a plain HTML page without writing CSS or learning a framework
- rapidly prototype a startup MVP with decent default styling
- add a lightweight CSS reset with sensible component styling to any project
- build a mobile-friendly landing page using only semantic HTML
- get clean-looking forms, buttons, blockquotes, and dialogs with zero class names
- quickly make internal tools or docs pages look presentable

## When to choose
- you want out-of-the-box styling for semantic HTML with no build step
- you are prototyping an MVP and want to spend time building, not designing
- you prefer classless CSS over utility classes or component frameworks
- you need a small, MIT-licensed stylesheet that is easy to customize

## When to avoid
- you need a full design system with complex layouts, grids, or theming
- your project requires utility-first CSS or component libraries like Tailwind or Bootstrap
- you need fine-grained control over every visual detail
- you are building a large application with custom branding requirements
