@don-rager well, bootstrap hold most of the most common things you might need, so I usually just make a few extra classes, not a 18kb file with custom CSS for a single page website
-
@ZioCain There's no reason why even a large website should have much more than maybe 32k of minified CSS, and if people already fail at dealing with just 18k of declarative code, they shouldn't be developing anything in the first place.
Those massive shitshows with ridiculous 500k of CSS are a landfill anyway. -
@ZioCain
You know, modern frameworks will compile component specific css inclusive of module contextual styles and lazy load them. They'll also remove them from memory when they're not needed.

While developing whatever website that uses Boostrap, my boss always says:
"PLEASE JUST USE BOOTSTRAP CLASSES to make it easier for everyone else to actually operate on that after you're done"
I'm now working on a project started by him and OMG the mess.
The only bootstrap classes he's using are col-* and text-*, the rest is all custom classes like nopad, which is the equivalent of p-0 m-0.
I mean, I might get you use less bytes writing nopad, but be consistent with what you say
