Awesome Minimalist Frameworks is a curated reference list of small, lightweight software frameworks, sorted alphabetically. The focus is on tools that do a specific job without adding a lot of extra weight or complexity. The list covers frameworks for building websites and web applications, written in a wide range of programming languages. The README is organized by category and programming language. Categories include CSS frameworks for styling web pages, web frameworks for languages such as Go, Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, Lua, Perl, Haskell, Java, Scala, and .NET, as well as front-end JavaScript frameworks and PHP database libraries. Each entry in the list includes the framework's name, a link to its website, a link to its source code repository, the last time it was updated, its license, and the command used to install it. For CSS frameworks, the list also shows the compressed file size of each option, which helps developers compare how much data would be added to a webpage. The sizes come from a third-party service that measures the minified and compressed bundle. The repository itself is built with Astro, a web framework for generating static sites, which suggests there may be a website version of the list in addition to the README. The project follows a standard open-source contribution model and participated in Hacktoberfest, a community event that encourages contributions to open-source projects. This is a reference resource, not a piece of software you run directly. It exists to help developers discover and compare minimal tools before choosing one to use in a project. The full README is longer than what was shown.
