Hi folks, This is going in a direction I like! I should go to bed, so I'll try to keep my input short for this time. And I am writing this from my memory, there might be errors. What I borrowed from *tachyons.io* for https://tid.li/tw5/test/bricks.html (warning: not cleaned up) is mainly its

More input: While I tried to adopt several parts of Bootstrap in Shiraz plugin, but I think Bulma (https://bulma.io/) may be a better choice as it is lighter 100% modular and JS free!! I would like to recommend the below page describes the pros and cos of most popular CSS framework.

Hi Jeremy, I strongly support this! Having css frameworks in TW can boost it and lets easily adopt it for different uses like elegant web pages. Like Mario, I recommend a more up to date CSS even the lifetime of them are around 5 years. --Mohammad On Sunday, May 19, 2019 at 6:07:42 PM

Re: [tw5] Re: Visual Design Thoughts, #14 revision T7

I’m keen to introduce a new default theme as part of a future v5.2.x version of TW5. I’d definitely be wanting to use an off-the-shelf framework, and tend to favour the simpler ones that focus on typography, such as Tachyons (https://tachyons.io/ ). As others have
