Skelly SCSS

Skelly is an opinionated enhancement to Skeleton-Sass, which is the (un)official Sass version of Dave Gamache's Skeleton Framework.

Skeleton is a simple, responsive boilerplate to kickstart any responsive project.

Skelly ... kind of makes things more complicated. (In a good way though!)

Getting started

Install Global Dependancies

Node.js
bower: [sudo] npm install bower -g
grunt.js: [sudo] npm install -g grunt-cli

Install Local Dependancies

Download zip, clone the repo or bower install skelly-scss from your terminal
cd to project folder
run [sudo] npm install (first time users)
run grunt (to watch and compile sass files)

What's in the download?

The download includes Skelly's CSS, ~~Normalize CSS as a reset,~~ a sample favicon, an index.html as a starting point, and a demo.html to see how some classes and objects are meant to be used.

Using Skelly

You could just include skelly.scss and be done, if you like. What you'll probably find more useful, though, is to include only the files that you actually want or need.

Note that before you import any skelly files you should be sure to include the settings and mixins/_main file. You'll probably want to include Skelly's settings after your own vars/settings file in order to override the defaults set therein so that your whole project matches up a bit better.

Contributions

This is a fork of the original work. I'm happy to accept input, but I've primarially made adjustments to fit my own style and preferences, so I'm going to have to agree with you philosophically in order to merge your PR. :)

Why it's awesome

Skeleton is lightweight and simple. It styles only raw HTML elements (with a few exceptions).

Skeleton provided an ideal starting point for something a little more... interesting.

Skelly adjusts some of the class names utilized with a more opinionated style, while trying to stay just as small so that it gets out of your way. Skelly also attempts to normalize more browser behaviour than Skeleton did.

Additionally, Skelly includes a totally re-written, mobile-first, ultra-responsive grid, and media shortcuts via mixins.

Minified, it's less than a kb
It's a starting point, not a UI framework
