Pears is an open-source WordPress theme for collecting and showcasing common HTML & CSS pattern pairs, where each pattern is a post with markup and style stored in custom fields. Created by Dan Cederholm, it serves as a learning tool for breaking interfaces into small reusable modules.

Use cases

  • collect reusable HTML and CSS pattern pairs
  • learn interface design by breaking pages into small modules
  • build a living style guide of common UI patterns
  • document markup and style snippets with notes
  • self-host a pattern library on WordPress

When to choose

  • you want a simple WordPress-based pattern library
  • you're learning HTML/CSS through small modular examples
  • you need a lightweight way to document markup and style pairs

When to avoid

  • you need a modern, actively maintained pattern library tool
  • you don't use WordPress or PHP
  • you need production-grade theme code
