I had 3 of my "Show HN" hit the front page. I have stats about 2 of them. They had a huge spike at the start, but the current traffic is more correlated with SEO and backlinks rather than the initial influx of visitors.

My actual most visited website is one that has hit the front page, but not because of my "Show HN".

We just crossed paths on the bulma issue tracker yesterday.

Just started migrating a new website, https://devel.tech, from Bootstrap 4 + mdbootstrap pro to bulma (https://devel.tech/site/updates#id15)

Far simpler markup. Better whitespacing / balance. Less javascript.

A good compromise in framework size to features.

Can I ask the reasoning behind `is-` and `has-` prefixes on bulma modifiers? I'm sure you were asked before but didnt see anything in docs

    <a class="button is-primary is-inverted is-outlined">Invert Outlined</a>

    <a class="button primary inverted outlined">Invert Outlined</a>

I felt it was easier to read and understand, since the "is-" or "has-" clearly shows it's a modifier class, and not a base class.

Also, it prevents the namespace from being "polluted" by class names that could be used for other things. For example, there's a "box" element, and a "is-boxed" modifier for the "navbar".

Lastly, the same modifier class can be used on different elements, since they are specific to the context in which they're used.

Really appreciate bulma and cssreference. Regular visitor to both the websites, I didn't know about HTMLreference but I would check that out as well.
