Nakshora (নক্ষত্র — *"star"* in Bangla) is a utility-first CSS framework created by Rizwan Rahim Chowdhury and maintained by RRC Development. The original Nakshora design system — a single, batteries-included stylesheet. This documentation covers Nakshora 1.0 in complete depth: every utility, every variant, every configuration option, with working examples you can copy straight into production.
Nakshora 1.0 is the original 2024 design system: one static CSS file with 1,038 hand-tuned classes, 19 HSL color palettes, ready-made components (neon buttons, glass cards, accordions, heroes) and 8 responsive screens from 375px to 4K.
What is inside this release#
- One frozen CSS file — v1.0.0.css — with 1,038 classes and zero build tooling.
- Design-paradigm components shipped before they had names: glass, neon, brutalist, neumorphic.
- 19 CSS-variable palettes (neon-*, pastel-*, brutal-*, mono, forest, earth, ocean, sunset).
- Screens from sm:640 to k8:3840 — v1 already targeted 8K displays.
How the documentation is organized#
The Nakshora 1.0 docs follow a hub-and-spoke structure. Start with the getting-started/quick-start|Quick start, then move through getting-started/installation|Installation and the core concepts. The utilities/index|Utilities reference documents every single class this release can produce, the recipes/index|Recipes library gives you copy-paste components, and the tutorials/index|Tutorials walk you through complete builds.
A note on versions#
Nakshora ships major releases with long documentation tails: you are reading the original 1.0 design-system docs — the frozen stylesheet that started it all. Use the version switcher in the header to jump between releases; equivalent articles are cross-linked.
