Yohns Updated Version
I'm not sure if the original Pico CSS repository is abandoned or not, but I really liked what they had to offer, and wanted to help not let this awesomely simple and easy to use front end framework disappear, so I merged as many of open pull requests that fixed some issues, and / or enhanced the project that were available at the time. I'll try to help keep it viable and do some bug fixes if any arise, and would alway appreciate anyone elses help to continue keeping this alive!
You can see the new features I, and many others have created pull requests for by going to Yohns Pico CSS. This page just has the demos of most of the features I have merged, or added to the project.

Quick start
There are 4 ways to get started with pico.css:
Install manually
Download Pico and link /css/pico.min.css in the <head> of your website.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css" />
Usage from CDN
Alternatively, you can use jsDelivr CDN to link pico.css.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@yohns/picocss@2.2.9/css/pico.min.css" />
Install with NPM
npm i @yohns/picocss
Then, import Pico into your SCSS file with @use:
@use "pico";
Starter HTML template
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css">
<title>Hello world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<main class="container">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Class-less version
Pico provides a .classless version.
In this version, <header>, <main>, and <footer> inside <body> act as containers to define a centered or a fluid viewport.
Use the default .classless version if you need centered viewports:
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@yohns/picocss@2.2.9/css/pico.classless.min.css"
/>
Or use the .fluid.classless version if you need a fluid container:
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@yohns/picocss@2.2.9/css/pico.fluid.classless.min.css"
/>
Then just write pure HTML, and it should look great:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@yohns/picocss@2.2.9/css/pico.classless.min.css"
/>
<title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Limitations
Pico CSS can be used without custom CSS for quick or small projects. However, it’s designed as a starting point, like a “reset CSS on steroids”. As Pico does not integrate any helpers or utilities .classes, this minimal CSS framework requires SCSS or CSS knowledge to build large projects.
