Minimal snippets for modern CSS layouts and components. With visible, tweakable examples.
jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.
If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency. Maybe you can include a few lines of utility code, and forgo the requirement. If you're only targeting more modern browsers, you might not need anything more than what the browser ships with.
At the very least, make sure you know what jQuery is doing for you, and what it's not. Some developers believe that jQuery is protecting us from a great demon of browser incompatibility when, in truth, post-IE8, browsers are pretty easy to deal with on their own.
JavaScript is great, and by all means use it, while also being aware that you can build so many functional UI components without the additional dependancy.
Maybe you can include a few lines of utility code, or a mixin, and forgo the requirement. If you're only targeting more modern browsers, you might not need anything more than what the browser ships with.
This site is fully copied from youmightnotneedjquery.com, an excellent resource for vanilla JavaScript created by @adamfschwartz and @zackbloom. But this time, we take a look at the power of modern native HTML and CSS as well as some of the syntactic sugar of Sass. Because, you might not need scripts for that task at all!
Material Design Icons' growing icon collection allows designers and developers targeting various platforms to download icons in the format, color and size they need for any project. 26,000 icons and counting.
In a single collection, Fork Awesome is a pictographic language of web-related actions. Completely free for commercial use. Originally designed for Bootstrap, Fork Awesome works great with all frameworks (even plain HTML). Doesn't require JavaScript. Easily style icon color, size, shadow, and anything that's possible with CSS. Scalable vector graphics means every icon looks awesome at any size. Accessibility minded and aware.
Lunr.js works on the client-side through JavaScript. Instead of sending calls to a backend, Lunr looks up search terms in an index built on the client-side itself. This avoids expensive back-and-forth network calls between the browser and your server. There are plenty of tutorials online to showcase Lunr's website search functionality. But you can actually use Lunr.js to search any array of JavaScript objects.
I just got the pun. Heh.
A library of almost 2000 animated, scalable icons. Only about 300 are free, the rest require payment. Log in, pick the ones you want, tweak them a bit, download them to use with your own site.
Surprisingly affordable on a monthly basis.

Maybe I can use this for links?
A small but highly customisable site template, ideal for a project documentation homepage.
Might be addable to my website's theme.
A lightweight CSS framework for personal sites.
With Meta Tags you can edit and experiment with your content then preview how your webpage will look on Google, Facebook, Twitter and more!
Use this starter kit to create a viable, good looking, production-ready website whose entire size does not exceed 2 KB compressed when opened in a browser. Ideally, the total size of all assets (HTML, CSS, favicon, etc.) downloaded by the browser when opening the page will be under 2 KB. You need npm and gulp installed to assemble it, but once you have it everything you need will be in the dist/ subdirectory.
A data visualization framework written in CSS. Uses the semantic HTML5 tags to identify data to process, the data goes inside the HTML markup in the form of tables. No Javascript is needed to pull data out of APIs for processing (unless you want to roll that way, I guess). The core CSS file can be downloaded and put to use more or less immediately.
Semantic HTML elements are those that clearly describe their meaning in a human- and machine-readable way. Elements such as <header>, <footer> and <article> are all considered semantic because they accurately describe the purpose of the element and the type of content that is inside

Prism is a lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards in mind. vIt’s used in thousands of websites, including some of those you visit daily. Simple to use. Lightweight. Customizable downloads, just like Bootstrap. Surprisingly easy to use: Include the files in your HTML and it does the rest for your <code> blocks. Extremely fast.
A set of small, responsive CSS modules that you can use in every web project. Pure is ridiculously tiny. The entire set of modules clocks in at 3.7KB minified and gzipped. Crafted with mobile devices in mind, it was important to us to keep our file sizes small, and every line of CSS was carefully considered. If you decide to only use a subset of these modules, you'll save even more bytes. Has all of the primitives that you'd expect from a CSS framework.
A series of awesome little special effects for websites. Not limited to any framework (react, vue, angular, etc). Effects can be simply inserted into the page.
