Fylgja offers a suite of modular components to suit your development needs:

* Fylgja Base:

* Ensures cross-browser consistency without unnecessary overrides, leveraging :where for zero specificity.
* Example: A better browser default, form and button styles out of the box.

* Available as SCSS or CSS variables for easy integration and customization.
* Use Fylgja's build tools to tailor tokens to your project's specific requirements.

* Accelerates development by providing pre-styled, reusable components.

Modularity in Action

Fylgja's modularity allows you to pick and choose the components that fit your project's needs. For instance, you can use Fylgja Base solely for its form styles, without importing other elements. This granular control ensures optimal performance and minimal bloat.

Performance Optimized

Fylgja prioritizes performance by delivering lightweight components. For example, the minified Fylgja Base Preflight is only 6kb, significantly smaller than many comparable libraries.

Effortless Customization

Fylgja is designed for effortless customization. Low CSS specificity and the use of CSS variables enable you to easily adapt styles to your project's unique design. The :where selector within Fylgja Base ensures that your custom styles are never overridden unintentionally.
