CSS framework for dummies, without a single CSS class: nicely renders properly formatted HTML5 pages
Tacit is a primitive CSS framework for dummies, like myself, who don't know anything about graphic design but want their web services to look eatable. No classes, no layouts. Just design plain and simple web pages compliant with HTML5 and they will look OK.
Details are here: yegor256.github.io/tacit
Just add it to your HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/yegor256/tacit@gh-pages/tacit-css.min.css"/>
</head>
</html>
Or simply download tacit-css.min.css
and use together with your HTML by adding:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="tacit-css.min.css"/>
</head>
</html>
Of course, it is responsive and mobile-friendly, but you have to add this line too:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
</head>
</html>
This blog post explains it in even more details: Tacit, a CSS Framework Without Classes.

Commit messages guidelines
- Every commit/PR should preferably be linked to a Github issue. If it's not, it's recommended to create an Issue first and then commit and open a PR;
- Commit messages should follow this pattern:
#<issue-number> - short description
(optional) * bullet-points with more details if necessary
- If the pattern is not followed - commit messages should at the very least reference the
#<issue-number>.
