an almost never up to date list of 'Lightweight, Responsive and modern CSS Frameworks'
this is a tabled list of a bunch of css frameworks. i decided to make this list after seeing so damn many frameworks list themseleves as 'a modern, responsive, and lightweight CSS framework', which i find hilarious.
listed in this table is just the link to the site, and the size of the singular {framework}.min.css file, or whichever/however many dependants are needed to make the framework....work (lookin at you hack.css and basscss). this Does Not include any additional .js, sass settings, plugins or anything else, even if they are included in the npm install as a single package.
these are organized by size (smallest -> largest)
