About Terminal CSS
Terminal CSS is a lightweight CSS framework that gives websites a minimal, terminal-inspired appearance. It is written in pure CSS, adds no overhead, and is about 3k gzipped, making it suited to personal sites, blogs and side projects. It can be installed with npm (npm i terminal.css) or loaded from a CDN link.
The framework ships styled components such as lists, description lists, tables, buttons, button groups, messages, media blocks and blockquotes, along with a table of contents component. Themes are created by editing CSS variables in browser dev tools and copying the result into a site. Documentation support includes a CustomGPT trained on the project's documentation and source code, available through ChatGPT.
