Minimal CSS Framework for semantic HTML

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

Pico is a minimal CSS framework that styles semantic HTML elements by default, so pages look clean and responsive without writing custom CSS. It is archived and no longer maintained; v2.1.1 is the final release.

Useful for
  • Build a small static site or prototype with plain HTML and no custom CSS
  • Add light and dark theme support to a page via the precompiled CDN themes
  • Use the classless version to get a centered or fluid layout from bare HTML

0.7 Quiet Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 30, 2026, 03:57 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

048August 2, 2026October 30, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-30 (UTC), 03:05–03:56: 16829 → 16828 stars (-1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Hacker News: “Pico CSS is no longer maintained” — 52 points, 1 h ago.
  • The repository is archived — the author no longer develops it.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
