Author of Sakura.css [0] here linked in the article. Thanks for the link ^_^, new.css looks super great!

A bit more on "WHY" you'd want to use a classless theme:

* Quick prototyping, especially when working on backend sites and can't yet be bothered to fidget with css/html.

* Building a quick (but pretty) site/blog for your best friend or aunt!

* Works amazingly with markdown generated HTML content. So it's a perfect match when rendering markdown but don't want to customise the rendering process to include specific classes.

* Using it as a placeholder: I almost always start a project with sakura.css, just drop the link tag and you’re done. Start working on features instantly.Once I’ve built the flows/components a bit I replace it with something like tailwind! There is no friction to this workflow as sakura and sisters are all classless anyways, so you can replace it easily.

Never in a thousand years would I even consider being on the same level as oxal's project. It's an absolute honor! Thanks so much for your support.
Haha thanks, you're being too humble ^_^

BTW loving the xz logo and the website. Overall super cool!

For some reason the footnote link on sakura did not make my view jump to the note (neither Firefox 76.0.1, nor Chromium 81.0.4044.138 / Linux Ubuntu) although it works in Wikipedia.
Hey are you talking about the footnote link [0] on the demo page?

If so thanks for pointing it out, looks like I forgot to add the `fn1` footnote id on the element. Fixed it.
