2021 Update?

@mezzoblue I remember when CSS Zen Garden came on the scene and over the years, I've moved from a student to a professional to a professor. I've always pointed to CSS Zen Garden to showcase the power of CSS to produce amazing designs (without modifying the HTML).

I recently looked up the project on GitHub and was surprised to see you had moved it here. I'm so glad you have.

Reviewing the latest commits, it looks like while the website stays up (thank you), the project is not maintained.

I'm wondering if you're willing to bring on one or more maintainers to the project to clean up some bugs (like #108) and to hopefully invite the new generation of designers to submit their designs to the project.

I'd like to create a core set of guidelines before anything is done to the project for you to review and sign off on (if you'd like). The base of the guidelines would be not breaking old designs, focusing on open standards, and welcoming new designs.

I'm open to hearing your thoughts on this.

Thank you

I also recall discovering CSS Zen Garden and I thought it was revolutionary at the time. Sadly, I did not pursue web dev until recently. I've always kept the versatility of CSS in the back of my mind. Today, with CSS 3 and HTML 5, imagine the possibilities.

CSS Zen Garden is one of the reasons I became interested in web development. I really hope there is a way we can maintain and bring back interest to the project.

TBH I personally like things like tailwind, where you style in your HTML.

Hey guys, I started a duplication of this project in a fresh arch based on Next.js at csszen/garden.

You may try its home page and theme 215. You may also try to apply any theme with a gist.

It's still under development. Contributions and suggestions are welcomed!

I have also started a spin-off: https://www.zengardenwebsites.com. It is a website in two files: an HTML and a CSS file. No pre- or postprocessing, no webservers... just plain code. Dare to try?
