Startover is a highly opinionated boilerplate for developing static websites on your Mac using Handlebars, Sass, Gulp and Pow. With Startover you don't have to start over!
I agree! We really don't need more boilerplates or frameworks for developing websites. Startover relies heavily on the works of others like html5boilerplate. However none of the boilerplates I've stumbled upon have been right for me. Startover is not for everyone. I created Startover to fit my workflow with the tools I like to use when developing websites. Starover can be used either as it is or as an inspiration for your development workflow.
A few disclaimeres:
- Startover is based on my workflow and how I work with static site development. I don't expect the code to be usable for anyone else but if you can use it that makes me happy!
- The code in this repository is mostly not documented. That means if you have no idea what some of the code do or just have a question, then just open up a new issue and I will try to respond.
- I use a mac for development therefore some of the code in this repository will assume the same.
Here are some sites that was built with Startover:

If you're using Startover you can create an issue so you can get featured here on this list of awesome sites (self-five).
