A lightweight front-end framework for creating scalable and performant, responsive sites
Developed and maintained by Ashley Nolan & Zander Martineau
- Mobile-first, responsive philosophy
- Rock-solid CSS framework using Sass (
.scss) preprocessor - Starter content styles: typography, grids & components
- Starter form element styles (see demo): stacked on small-screen to 2-column (if you choose) at the breakpoint of your choice, validation states
- Lots of helper classes & Sass mixins for many CSS3 features like media-queries
- Simple Javascript boilerplate that makes very little assumptions about your chosen style or workflow.
- JS bundled with Browserify
- ES2015/ES6 syntax supported using the Babel transpiler
- Grunt task runner used extensively to ease common development bottlenecks
- Sass is compiled using node-sass and we use Autoprefixer to dynamically add vendor prefixes so you don't even have to think about them :)
- PostCSS plugins can also be used to transform your CSS
- Simple server using BrowserSync
