Universal Portability
Because Maple has no build step or compile-time requirements, it works anywhere HTML and JavaScript work. If you can add a <script> tag, you can use Maple.
This makes Maple immediately usable in environments where Node-dependent CSS tooling is either impractical or entirely unavailable:
- CMS platforms and backend-driven applications (WordPress, PHP, Django, Rails)
- Server-rendered templates without a bundler
- Low-code and no-code platforms
- Embedded widgets and third-party scripts
There is no npm install, no bundler configuration, and no fragile build chain to maintain. Maple decouples design systems from build infrastructure — and makes modern utility-based styling available to the entire web.
