## What it is
Spectre.css is a lightweight (~10KB gzipped), responsive, modern CSS framework built on Flexbox. It provides base styles, a responsive grid layout system, pure CSS components, and utilities, customizable via Sass/Scss.

## Use cases
- style a website without heavy css frameworks
- build a responsive flexbox grid layout
- quickly prototype a landing page with buttons and forms
- create a lightweight css-only component library
- customize a css framework with sass variables
- make a mobile-friendly web app ui

## When to choose
- you need a small, fast css framework without javascript dependencies
- you want elegant prebuilt components with a consistent design language
- you prefer compiling a custom build via Sass/Scss

## When to avoid
- you need a full component framework with JavaScript interactivity
- you rely on a large ecosystem of themes and plugins like Bootstrap's
