As a developer I often need to throw together a basic HTML + JS + CSS page to test or prototype some idea.

These minimal stylesheets get us one step beyond Times New Roman to make such a basic page or web app look non-terrible: demo page.

There's a < 1k stylesheet for basic HTML styles and a separate 3.2k one for buttons, forms etc. and they are designed so that the result looks basically the same across different devices.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://github.com/chr15m/minimal-stylesheet/blob/master//chr15m.github.io/minimal-stylesheet/minimal.css"/>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://github.com/chr15m/minimal-stylesheet/blob/master//chr15m.github.io/minimal-stylesheet/minimal-inputs.css"/>

Use npm i minimal-stylesheet to get these on your local. You can then find the files in node_modules/minimal-stylesheet/minimal*.css.

Tips

• Set the font-size on body to scale up or down the whole interface.
• Do a search and replace of #f56a6a to theme it with your own color.
