HN comment orderThis is a similar project (by a friend), that recreates the look and feel of the outstanding UK Government design system: https://gdcss.netlify.app/ Same idea and Pico (classless, simple, small etc).
Love pico. It’s my default starting point for nearly every side project. Sometimes I will reach for Neat [0] which is a great deal smaller. [0]: https://neat.joeldare.com/
I actively use this frame for small projects. Classless is great.
Seriously underrated library.
