Features

Feature Description
#webperf Performance-first, responsive philosophy
🚍 Rock-solid build tasks We use gulp & webpack to deliver the best task runner & developer experience for your project
👓 Unopinionated & extendable A few common UI elements, a grid & some other base styles. The rest is up to you.
🔮 Future proof Build complex layouts with flexbox & use ES2015 (ES6) for your javascript.

It is a boilerplate after all 😉

Browser compatibility

Kickoff has been tested in the following browsers:

Chrome (latest) Firefox (latest) Safari (latest) Edge (latest) Opera (latest)
Chrome Firefox Safari Microsoft Edge Opera

We also support older versions of Internet Explorer but the support is limited. For example, the Kickoff grid relies on flexbox so Modernizr is needed to detect for it and then we can provide a fallback.
