natty.css

all the css gains, all natty!

the idea behind natty.css is that you should be able to use just the right amount of CSS to style your webpage. What natty.css provides is:

  1. default styling for most commonly used elements
  2. use system fonts that are available on most popular operating systems
  3. use sans-serif fonts
  4. use em for defining width instead of px
  5. this also prints well; “wywsiwyg” since the width is 43em.
  6. supports dark-mode
  7. change theme colors if you like (line 1, 2)

natty.css was inspired by nat.org,which has inspired many ai companies e.g: Meta Superintelligence, and an earlier version of ssi etc.
