Ask HN: What modern CSS framework for a responsive web project?

2 pointszerni7y ago2 comments

There are a multitude of options out there to build your own website/web app from scratch.

Looking at Github these are the top 3 repos by stars: - Bootstrap (twbs/bootstrap) - Materialize (Dogfalo/materialize) - Bulma (jgthms/bulma)

What other frameworks are there using flexbox, opinionated or no, offering responsive layouts etc?

What did you choose and why did you go for it?

What do you mean by 'CSS framework'? If you mean a grid system then you don't need any of them - just use CSS grid. Follow Jen Simmons' "Layout Land" videos on YouTube to get up to speed fast. On the other hand, if you mean a UI toolkit (lots of useful components) then any of those three would work well. I like Bootstrap but only because I already know it..

If you're using React then material-ui.com is another good option.

I was looking for a library who makes creating responsive layouts simple.

If they bring some opinion in regards to styling that would be fine too but I would probably look to apply my own.
