Water.css is a tiny, classless CSS framework that styles semantic HTML with no markup changes—just add a stylesheet link. It supports automatic light/dark theming via prefers-color-scheme and is designed for simple static pages and demos.
Use cases
- style a quick demo page without writing CSS
- make a simple static site look nicer
- add dark mode to a plain HTML page
- drop-in styling for semantic HTML
- base stylesheet for a small project
- make an ugly webpage more readable
When to choose
- you want zero-class, drop-in styling for simple content pages
- you need a tiny (<2kb) stylesheet with automatic light/dark theming
- you're building demos, docs, or prototypes quickly
When to avoid
- you need a component library or utility classes for complex app UIs
- you need fine-grained design control or a design system
- you want heavy customization out of the box
