Recently, I came across this website called Subreply, which is an English-only forum with a clean and simplistic design.

When I first saw it, I immediately fall in love with its design: Simple, yet modern and beautiful. I love it so much that I decided to rip the CSS from the website and turn it into a classless CSS style.

And after about 2 days of active working, I introduce to you, Subreply CSS!

Subreply CSS is a classless CSS style that is designed to be modern, beautiful, and simple, just like where it came from.

Features include:

• Lightweight - Only weights 4 kB! ¹
• Mobile responsive and image responsive
• Automatic dark/light theme (based on OS preferences)
• Custom emojis before mailto:, sms:, and tel: links
• Custom blockquotes and code blocks ²
• Beautiful font (Route 159)
• Fixing missing features from the original Subreply, such as radios and checkboxes

Subreply CSS is suitable for both personal blogs and simple websites!

Wow! That's exciting! Where can I know more about it?

You can go to the Github repo, which contains further information about the project.

I'm still skeptical, I want to try it first

You can try this demo ³ or just playing around with my website (yes, it uses Subreply CSS).

Downsides

Even though it has a lot of good points, Subreply CSS also has some downsides:

• All the fonts are currently hosted on Catbox, a file hosting service that I am relying on. This means that if Catbox goes down, all the fonts will be rendered unusable. The best solution for this is to host fonts locally, and I am planning on writing a (short) blog post just for that, so stay tuned!
