Building a Retro Portfolio with system.css

← Back to Blog

This portfolio is built entirely with system.css — a CSS library that recreates the look and feel of Apple's System OS from 1984-1991.

The stack

  • Next.js 15 for the framework
  • system.css for the design system
  • Markdown for blog content (parsed with gray-matter + remark)

No Tailwind?

Nope. system.css is the entire design system. No utility classes needed.
