Middleman gets you a ton of things for free that will help organize your Framer prototypes:
- Use CoffeeScript, Sass, ERB or anything else that you like that works with Sprockets (which is almost everything).
- Break up JavaScript into small, reusable components and use
require
to include what you need inapp.coffee
- Publish to GitHub Pages (or anywhere using Jekyll) and send your team URLs for mocks and prototypes.
