### What we like

Based on default browser styling, but easy to customize. Provides good looking defaults. Lightweight, no build step, can be reduced by excluding unused elements. Covers a wide range of HTML elements. Includes syntax highlighting classes. Dark mode support. Tea-based name.

### Tradeoffs

Missing some utility classes for setting common options in shorthand.
