Thanks for giving a shout-out to lesser known frameworks. For anyone wondering why Halfmoon exists and what sets it apart, here's the original intro:

Hey I didn't get what you mean by rounding? But from the emoticon I think that's something funny...

I mean rounding up to like 2 decimals or so; nobody tips 0.0000000000001 xD

Oh Got It!
I know too late to reply, but yes, you may just use the Math.round(x) function for that. No decimal places better than 2!

It's about rounding the tips (we can't tip 0.0000001 🤣)

Probably rounded corners.
But I think it was just a friendly jab.

I have used this CSS framework for a dashboard project (developed with Django), and it's quite good. I love the design and I agree that it's beautiful. Hope one day this project will be resurrected. Even for the dashboard, it's still need so many components to make a powerful dashboard. Furthermore, JavaScript framework (Vue, React, Angular) support will make this framework has much more user in the future. Let's hope !

I thought just the other day that the community should fork it and pick it up 😊.
It'd be a real shame to relegate such beautiful work to the dustbin...

Your projects really show how nice halfmoon is!! Your portfolio is wonderful, even though I don't get much what you have written because its not English!

That's strange - I saw it in French for a split second, and then my Android phone immediately translated it into halfway decent English (I think most desktop browsers will ask if you want to do this).

But yes, it all looks great!

Thanks for sharing this, I was using Tailwind for last 1 year. I think its time to go Halfmoon CSS✌🏻

Halfmoon and tailwind's work is different!
Halfmoon is like Bootstrap or Bulma. Tailwind is entirely different so you can choose anything!

This is great but I don't see the deal here. It's just like bootstrap from the looks of it, except, it's also abandoned now
