24 alternatives to My 24-hour project, instacss.com
http://instacss.com (in case DNS update hasn't propagated: http://morning-warrior-3377.herokuapp.com/) Last night I was annoyed at how slow (and web 1.0-ish) most CSS reference sites seem to be, so I created this.

Feedback is most welcome! some of the tech involved: node, requirejs, backbone, mongodb the code: http://github.com/rgarcia/instacss

I built a web-based app for building websites. The main unique features are: 1. The ability to copy and paste any HTML and CSS into the editor with no limits.

I really wanted to move my automation server project to a proper framework instead of the current ad hoc nightmare of inline CSS and redundant classes... But nothing seemed quite right.

The whole thing is 17.5kb, without minifying or removing comments. It starts with classless styles for semantic html. There is a very small set of about 5 components(The…
