## What it is
Stisla is a CSS component library built on a fixed set of design tokens, with components styled via BEM classes and customizable through CSS variables. It ships as a stylesheet plus a small vanilla JavaScript runtime, with Tailwind running underneath and React/Vue versions planned.

## Use cases
- build an admin dashboard ui
- style a website with a consistent design token system
- add prebuilt components like accordions and cards to plain html
- customize a component library's colors and radius via css variables
- use a bootstrap alternative without a build step
- create a dark-mode-capable interface with vanilla css

## When to choose
- you want real BEM components plus Tailwind utilities in one system
- you need no-build-step usage via CDN in plain HTML
- you value token-driven consistency and per-instance CSS variable overrides
- you target modern browsers only

## When to avoid
- you must support older browsers lacking OKLCH, color-mix, or :has()
- you need a React/Vue implementation today
- you want many prebuilt theme flavors out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, css-framework, theme
- domain: frontend, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
