Fully compatible and actively maintained successor to Pico CSS.
Introduces float labels, breakout container and other modern, opt-out helpers.
Simply switch pico.css to blades.css OR use blades.standalone.css with other frameworks.
There are 4 ways to get started:
Download CSS archive and link css/blades.css in the <head> of your website.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blades.css" /><link rel="stylesheet" href="
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/blades@2/css/blades.min.css
"/>Live example: https://github.com/pallets/website/blob/main/src/pallets/templates/layout.html

npm install @anyblades/bladesYou can use precompiled Pico+Blades CSS (same as CDN version):
<link rel="stylesheet" href="
node_modules/@anyblades/blades/css/blades.css
" />Or import standalone Blades CSS sources (without Pico CSS):
@import "@anyblades/blades/standalone";Live example using Tailwind: https://github.com/anyblades/buildawesome-starters/blob/main/site-tailwind/styles.css
To install and import both Pico+Blades CSS sources at once:
npm install @anyblades/pico @anyblades/blades@import "@anyblades/pico";
@import "@anyblades/blades/standalone";This is exactly how Blades CSS is built itself: https://github.com/anyblades/blades/blob/main/src/blades.css
