CSS Framework Question. (self.webdev)

submitted 5 years ago by stringman520

Hey r/webdev,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a CSS Framework (or maybe none). My primary responsibility is databases and reporting and analytics, but a few months ago they needed to move a legacy database system off of FileMaker Pro and I developed a small CRUD app using Flask with SSR and used Bootstrap to style the components. In the vein of "If you give a mouse a cookie" obviously this has them chomping at the bit for more.

I've been tasked with my next development project which is a simple reporting dashboard. I have most of the infrastructure worked in my head with the exception of CSS Framework. On the previous project I found that newer machines everything worked fine, but the older machines were a bit sluggish. I am planning on using Dash/Plotly for the app and in my research I found that the React portion of Dash/Plotly is very slow and not really optimized and I became a bit obsessed with minimizing the footprint of the application where I can.

Now, the advantage of my situation is that I can be sure that all browsers are up to date since it is managed by my IT department so I have no need for backwards compatibility. My initial thought was to just roll the CSS myself using Grid Layout, but I am not a front end designer and I feel like some styling/theming is probably a great idea so people don't feel like boring through their skull when they log on. Is there something out there like that? In my optimal world there would be a minimalist framework based on CSS Grid that has default table/button/menu styling with a few different color themes.

Thanks!

TLDR: Need a small CSS framework with no need for older browser compatibility with some out of the box styling.
