Note: This project is no longer being actively maintained.
This starter kit for Jekyll follows the thoughtbot styleguide and includes our favorite front end tools.
Jekyll is a static site generator built in Ruby. This makes it a great fit for projects that may end up as a Ruby on Rails app.
- HAML: Simple template markup
- Coffeescript: Write javascript with simpler syntax
- Sass: CSS with superpowers
- Autoprefixer: Add vendor prefixes to CSS
- Bourbon: Sass mixin library
- Neat: Semantic grid for Sass and Bourbon
- Bitters: Scaffold styles, variables and structure for Bourbon projects.
We also recommend Refills for prepackaged interface patterns and Proteus for a collection of useful starter kits to help you prototype faster.
