Would be interesting if you could elaborate what's the absolute minimum required CSS for a "working" website, such as CSS resets, typography, color scheme, responsive/grid, viewport settings etc.

I see so many people advocating "don't use a CSS framework, roll your own" but I'd like to see the required minimum CSS for a real world website demoed and explained somewhere.

Rolling your own "css framework" would be feasible if the product is fairly small or you have the required human resources to produce a maintainable, easy to use and well-documented stylesheet.

There is absololutely no harm in using a css framework and I personally don't think its even a remotely good idea to "roll your own" unless the aforementioned conditions have been met.

Maintaining css can be pretty annoying after all.

I agree with Mydrax that there is no reason not to use a good CSS framework nowadays.
For just minimal CSS for an MVP I'd use this bare minimum stylesheet:
