Why start with Startr Style – Simplifying CSS Frameworks is hard

• The pursuit of simplifying styling in CSS frameworks often leads to bulky, overcomplicated code.
• The web is built upon basic HTML elements and shouldn't require packaging large amounts of dependencies.
• Adding wrappers and CSS classes increases complexity, memory usage, and slows down style calculations.
• Embrace the elegance of simplicity by creating CSS frameworks that prioritize the basics.
• Allow for customization without the need for hyper-overriding styles.
• A framework that hinders creativity and innovation is not useful.

Style Core (Subtree)

The CSS framework source lives in its own repo (WEB-startr.style.core) and is embedded here as a git subtree under src/style-core/.

Unlike submodules, subtree requires no extra steps after cloning — the src/style-core/ directory is regular committed files.

# Pull latest from the core repo (maintainers only)
make style_core_update

# Push local subtree edits back to the core repo
make style_core_push

make style_core_add was already run once to set up the subtree. New clones get the files automatically — no init required.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

bun run start

Runs the app in the development mode using Eleventy. Open http://localhost:8080 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.

bun run build

Builds the app for production to the dist folder using Eleventy.

bun run audit:accessibility

Runs an accessibility audit on the HTML files in the src directory using axe-cli.

bun run audit:accessibility:built

Builds the site first, then runs an accessibility audit on the generated HTML files in the dist directory using axe-cli.

bun run audit:accessibility:live

Runs an accessibility audit on the live development server at http://localhost:8080 using axe-cli. Note: This tests only the main page. To test multiple pages, run the command for each page individually:

CHROME_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" axe http://localhost:8080/brutalism/
CHROME_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" axe http://localhost:8080/modernism/
