Overview

Chiyogami is presented as a lightweight and highly customizable CSS framework. Its core value proposition lies in providing a minimal foundation, empowering developers to build web interfaces with maximum control over the styling and design. Unlike opinionated frameworks that come with a large set of pre-designed components, Chiyogami aims to be a starting point, reducing CSS bloat and allowing for unique visual identities.

This framework is ideal for projects where performance is paramount and a custom design is a priority. Developers can leverage its foundational styles and then extend or override them with their own CSS, ensuring that only the necessary styles are loaded. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of CSS and offers flexibility that larger, more prescriptive frameworks might lack.
