# About
https://PicoCSS.com was a great starting point for projects, but there was some friction:
- Too many breakpoints: I just wanted a single breakpoint for phones, otherwise responsive based on content/screen width.
- Too many CSS variables polluting dev tools.
- No longer maintained: SASS warnings polluting terminal output.
- Missing concept of "surfaces."

I just wanted a classless CSS library that worked well with https://open-props.style. Basically a nicer-looking Open Props Normalize[1].
So I built Nimble.css! (Assisted by Claude.) PicoCSS-inspired aesthetics combined with Open Props curated values.
