Wipe.css

It's a CSS library to reset default styles with some opinionated changes.

  • Reset block margins: from every elements;
  • Reset the headings and set a default font style on body;
  • Remove unncessary styles: such as: background repeat, list styles, etc;
  • Reset form fields: buttons and inputs looks the same now, in so any styles;
  • Prevent chrome autofill style: remove that yellow box on fields;
  • Border-box box sizing: so that borders and paddings don't affect the set dimensions;
  • Responsive media: images with right size;

Install

$ yarn add wipe.css

or

$ npm install wipe.css

    fix(html): remove smooth scroll

    i think as smooth scroll isnโ€™t default on any browser โ€” and our idea is to get rid of anything on the way โ€” the default scroll-behavior should be set to auto (and immediately jump to the point)

    fix: inherit color on some elements

    some elements colors werenโ€™t been wiped, and they remained with browser standards (at least on chrome)

    iโ€™ve did a little codepen proof to help guide us fixing it :tada:
