Nebula
Nebula is a WordPress theme framework that focuses on enhancing development. The core features of Nebula make it a powerful tool for designing, developing, and analyzing WordPress websites consistently, yet its deliberately uncomplicated code syntax also serves as a learning resource for programmers themselves.
"Since WordPress is so easy for content managers to use, that means they often drive the tech stack decision. Over half of Nebula's code is to clean up bloat and make WordPress development a little more tolerable."
