What if the browser already provided a foundation for a design system? Does the concept of CSS Reset still make sense in 2025?

In this talk, we’ll explore the fascinating world of minimalist CSS frameworks that turn the browser into a ready-made design system out of the box. Solutions like Pico.css, Almond.css, and Water.css can make your projects elegant and consistent with minimal effort — and most importantly, with clean, semantic HTML.

Through practical examples, semantic reasoning, and native browser design tokens (system colors, focus rings, typographic hierarchy), this talk rethinks the concept of a UI kit — shifting from “reinvent everything” to “better use what’s already there.”
