Wasn't familiar with it, looks interesting.

Some animations are painfully slow, though. After opening a menu[0], it takes a long time to close once you click outside.

How well does it work without JS? I assume that's how the ripple effect is implemented.

Edit: they have documented what works and what doesn't with JS disabled here : https://github.com/beercss/beercss/blob/main/docs/JAVASCRIPT...

That file hasn't been updated in a while. Not sure if nothing has changed since then, or if it's outdated.

Why is there so much empty space under the yellow header?

Beer CSS is great. I've used it for multiple simple projects and it provides a great DX with the clean html code and the many snippets on the official website. The only downside is that LLMs are quite bad at working with it from my experience, maybe it's just too simple for them..

This is a great project, but material design was the worst thing that Google invented and implemented. Completely tasteless, visually unappealing. Would be nice to see such a project with anything else than material design.
