I will use as few libraries as possible and bare vanilla CSS (yes, you read it right).

You know what project started out with basically the same premise? This website and what became the Forem codebase.

I was a little further along in my career, and my reasonings were a little different. I found myself getting a little overwhelmed by dependencies and really wanted to focus on fewer of them. So for quite some time this codebase was vanilla CSS and Vanilla JS.

Things eventually evolved, but it was a tremendous learning experience and exercise in focus and care.
