Cirrus is a modular, responsive, and component centric SCSS framework aimed at bringing beautiful, hassle-free styling. Cirrus works right away with minimal styling. From there, add components and tweak using utility classes to make it truly your own.
Tools are created to serve our own purposes and technology needs to add value to our lives without creating friction.People should not adapt to technology. Technology needs to adapt to people. We don't need to teach people how to interact with software but train software to interact with people. Software adoption relies on people learning how to navigate through a user interface. But this causes resistance and hinders productivity. We close the knowledge gap between humans and machines by allowing anybody to operate any software instantly. For Software providers that need to sell their product the ability to guide users in real time translates into higher engagement, activation, conversion, and retention. Companies that implement on-screen interactive guidance in the applications their staff needs to work with, solve all the logistic problems connected to staff training and see an increase in productivity that derives from a workforce which is fully operative in any software application from the get-go.

Cirrus CSS's answer
There are often debates on whether component-centric frameworks such as Bootstrap or atomic-classed frameworks such as Tailwind are better for its: - Learning curve - Maintainability - Flexibility - Ease of use
I am a fan of both frameworks as they have their strengths depending on the situation. With component-based frameworks, it is quite easy to slap a couple of different elements together and you have a working website. However, customization may require writing lots of other CSS yourself which takes time away from building your product. Utility-class-based frameworks offer customization that is as granular as it gets short of writing the CSS yourself but without the overhead. A major drawback is that being able to customize and use tree shaking requires direct integration of Tailwind into your project and a CDN version is not feasible for production.
Cirrus is a framework that takes the best parts of both of these types of frameworks and provides: - Many pre-built basic components to accelerate your development velocity (e.g. Avatars, Modals, Tabs, etc.). To keep your code clean, all component classes are built following the BEM convention. - A suite of common utility classes to help tweak and polish your designs when needed. These utility classes are so powerful that you can construct components with them alone. - Different CDN builds of the framework that can be dropped in at any browser (core, ext, all). Choose one that fits your needs.
With the release of 0.7, much of the framework can now be customized. Since the framework is written entirely in SCSS, it can take advantage of all the existing APIs for class generation. The new configuration system in Cirrus allows you to: - Add/Edit/Delete component styles. - Add/Edit/Delete utility classes. - Specify which breakpoints are supported. - Toggle which classes should have viewport variants (to help save on build size). - Enable/Disable different parts of the framework. - And more :)
Cirrus CSS's answer
Started in late 2016, Cirrus was built as a side project of mine to foray into web development. Since then it has grown immensely with the addition of components, more utility classes, CSS grid, etc. My main goal for this framework is to make web development as painless as possible -- and that always starts with great documentation and consistency in design choices.
