HTML Reference


MVP.css works with the following HTML elements:


Modifying the CSS variables

MVP.css includes a list of CSS variables. Editing these variables will change the styles globally.

                
:root {
    --active-brightness: 0.85;
    --border-radius: 5px;
    --box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px;
    --color-accent: #118bee15;
    --color-bg: #fff;
    --color-bg-secondary: #e9e9e9;
    --color-link: #118bee;
    --color-secondary: #920de9;
    --color-secondary-accent: #920de90b;
    --color-shadow: #f4f4f4;
    --color-table: #118bee;
    --color-text: #000;
    --color-text-secondary: #999;
    --font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;
    --hover-brightness: 1.2;
    --justify-important: center;
    --justify-normal: left;
    --line-height: 1.5;
    --width-card: 285px;
    --width-card-medium: 460px;
    --width-card-wide: 800px;
    --width-content: 1080px;
}
                
            

Custom styles can be added inside a <style> tag, or at the end of your local mvp.css file


Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I use this?

If you just want to launch already.

PRO TIP An MVP is a temporary site, it doesn't have to be and shouldn't be perfect.

What skills will I need?

Mostly HTML, maybe a hint of CSS if you want to get fancy.

CSS        5

Design   0

HTML     100

Is there a minified version?

No, you don't need one for an MVP.

How can I improve my design?

Here are some helpful resources:

How do I handle a user's dark mode preference?

By default <html> will force users into light mode. By using <html color-mode="user"> MVP.css will respect the user's dark mode preferences. The original concept and additional tips can be found in this article: https://ryanfeigenbaum.com/dark-mode/

What if I don't like the default styles?

Most styles are editable through CSS variables. You can also add your own styles inline, at the end of MVP.css or in a new stylesheet.

PRO TIP If there are two conflicting CSS styles, the last one will take precedence.

                    
:root {
    --color-bg: #fff;
}

/* Lower in the CSS, or in a 2nd stylesheet */

:root {
    --color-bg: #000; /* This will take precedence */
}
                    
                
What if I still don't like it?

That's OK, you probably shouldn't love your MVP. The goal of MVP.css is to help you feel slightly less embarrased about it.
