Bulma: what is the motivation for this project?

A few things:

• simpler markup: flexbox doesn't require as much nesting and as many tweaks like clearfixes or min-heights
• new features: flexbox allows to things that were almost impossible without any JavaScript
• easy modifier classes: I prefer having a base class like button and modify the style on top of that, by using a pre-determined syntax, which is that every modifier class should start with is-
• learning: this project has taught me a lot about flexbox, its pros and cons

Did Dragon Ball have anything to do with naming it?

[jgthms]

Absolutely.

Initially, the project was supposed to be a theme generator named Trunks but trunks.io was unavailable.

I imagined dividing the generator into _"capsules"_ that you would choose a selection from to generate the theme you want. That's where the name Bulma came into mind, as her father founded Capsule Corp.

Then the project became a CSS framework instead, but the name stayed.

Do you have other implementations in mind? If so, which?

I love this. I thought the reference must be there because the combination of name + colour scheme definitely seemed too much. That hair colour is way too distinct :smile: .

Well atleast the project is not called "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Ultra Instinct Kaoiken Times 20"
