What would jQuery Mobile be like if you took out all of the crap-browser support (looking at you, IE-every-version) and the esoteric features that most apps never use? It could be an extremely lightweight, and simple to use framework for defining a touch-based UI using nothing but HTML and CSS. That's the driving force behind Caress.
This is an extremely stripped-down reimplementation of jQuery Mobile. And it's only just getting started, so there's really not much to it yet.
- Demo you say? DEMO! (I am not a designer...)
- Easily themable: Just edit the LESS (broken down into THEME and STRUCTURE) sections, and recompile it.
- Caress' CSS is currently just 4kb minified; 1kb gzipped! (Whereas jQuery Mobile's CSS is 61kb minified, 9kb gzipped)
I've cribbed much from other open source projects:
- jQuery Mobile - inspiration, occasional bits of CSS, and a few images
- Zepto - all of the Ruby, Rake, etc that makes Continuous Integration on Travis-CI work.
Thank you!
