If the world is your oyster, then the web is your hotdog! Mustard UI was created first as a joke within a small web development team. It then grew to become not only a teaching tool but the starter code for many web projects. The aim is to create a CSS framework that actually looks good. It's still an early concept, but we'd love your thoughts.

I think the angle you should go for isn’t about how it looks; as other people have said on here it doesn’t actually look that different to bootstrap or A.N Other framework. Maybe you should be targetting size? Eg “looks great and it’s tiny” I dunno. It’s a hard market. I personally have my own framework that I’ve put together over the years and use it as a base for everything. I may contribute some of my helper classes to your project and see if they get accepted 😀

@mickc79 Yea it's a hard sell in a crowded market. I'd love to see more contributors. Do it!

I’ll give this a bash. But “looks good” is massively subjective. It also implies that other css frameworks don’t “look good”, which is kind of s crazy generalisation.

@mickc79 Thanks for your honesty. Design is definitely subjective, but I'm trying to keep it light hearted and fun. Maybe "looks good to us"? :)

Honestly, it looks the same as other frameworks.... same buttons, same forms, same way of wrapping divs and writing classes... different names but same grid. I see no advantage, as a developer, of using this in place of PUT YOUR FAVORITE GRID HERE.

@tostartafire That's cool. It's not for everybody. Thanks for checking it out though!

Hi there, I just wanted to say that the support I've received so far from the community has been amazing. This has been the first open source project that I've attempted and the warm reception to the idea of "yet another CSS framework" has been great. The big goal of this project is for it to grow into an even better looking CSS framework that can be dropped into any starter project or idea. If nothing else, I would love to get more hands involved to not only help it grow, but to further use it as a teaching tool and to help other developers find ways to contribute to new open source projects online. Thanks for taking the time to check it out and I'd love to answer any of your questions. ~ Kyle

Good job into reinventing the wheel :) (no honestly, good job, it's not easy to do so and it is a great way to improve yourself at writing OS)

@frenchie_m Thanks! It's definitely challenging to make an attempt at something new.

really love an idea. Is it built on Bootstrap?

@evgeny_pavlov Actually this was built from scratch (which is why it's so tiny at 5kb), but it definitely has been influenced by other popular frameworks.
