If you've used the excellent Spectre CSS library created by @picturepan2 you're probably a huge fan of its aesthetic, typography, components, customisation options and general approach.
Unfortunately, after several years of stagnation and inactivity, the project seems to be dead:
- the last release was in July 2020
- there are 30 pull requests outstanding
- there are 164 issues unresolved
- there is an unreleased 0.5.10 branch from October 2020
- the last comment from @picturepan was in September 2020
For such a well-designed and useful framework, this is a real shame; not only will the project not get bug fixes, but it also won't get updates and new features which keep it a viable option going forwards in a fast-paced web world.
As Spectre's code is MIT Licensed, this organisation has been created with the aim of:
- keeping the Spectre CSS project alive
- merging outstanding pull requests
- publishing new releases
- fixing future bugs
- creating complimentary projects (such as Spectre Vue)
A discussion about these aims has been started here, and you are encouraged to participate!

To avoid confusion, note:
- The new framework name is Spectre CSS; the original is Spectre.css
- The new package name is
spectre-css(with a dash); the original isspectre.css(with a dot)
