Oat UI

Oat is an ultra-lightweight front-end UI library designed to automatically style semantic HTML using minimal CSS and JavaScript with zero external dependencies. The project focuses on simplicity and performance, allowing developers to create clean, modern interfaces without relying on heavy frameworks or complex build systems. Oat works by applying sensible default styling directly to standard HTML elements, meaning developers can achieve polished layouts with little to no custom classes. Its small footprint makes it especially attractive for static sites, documentation, prototypes, and low-overhead web applications. The library can be installed via npm, CDN, or direct download, making it flexible across different development workflows. Overall, Oat prioritizes minimalism, speed, and developer ergonomics for teams that want attractive UI results with extremely low complexity.
