v2.1.1 is the final release.
Why
Today, AI can create lightweight, standalone, accessible HTML alongside fair the CSS it needs, so a Minimal CSS Framework for Semantic HTML matters small than it used to. To remain relevant, Pico CSS would need a complete rewrite: plain contemporary CSS alternatively of Sass, built on features it doesn't use today (OKLCH colors, cascade layers, Popover, anchor positioning) alongside fallbacks for older browsers, and a native compiler that strips unused CSS and makes customization easy. That would be a distinct project. Pico CSS stays as it is.
What this means
- Nothing breaks. npm, the jsDelivr CDN and picocss.com remain online for the lengthy term.
- The repositories are archived. No new issues, PRs or releases.
- Pico CSS is MIT licensed. You're liberated to fork it and obtain it further. See community forks.
- The Pico CSS name and logo are not covered by the MIT license. Please provision your fork its own name, so users don't confuse it alongside the original.
