HTML5 SUSHIPLATE

The HTML5 Sushiplate is a pretty simple and straightforward boilerplate for HTML5 applications, using Compass with SCSS syntax to generate the styles. It is heavily based on the excelent Paul Irish's HTML5 Boilerplate. It's a starting point for my websites at prototyping phase, and it's also a way to keep studying new solutions and optimizations.

Why "Sushiplate"? Well, of course I couldn't use HTML5 Boilerplate as a name, and I like sushi. So I figured "well, why not?".

This is a (very "baby-crawling") WIP, and I hope to give it some love (and merge contributors' love as well) as time goes by.

There you go. Enjoy the sushi!

Instructions

1. Install Ruby. Tip: do it using RVM
2. Install Compass gem.
3. Config the SCSS variables in stylesheets/scss/_config.scss

Using the Sushiplate

1. Compile the SCSS files using compass compile. Use compass watch to compile files as they are saved.
2. Include all your custom JS files in the javascripts folder.
3. Include any plugins in vendors folder.

Roadmap

1. Incorporate HTML 5 Boilerplate's JS compiling solution for JS. Study RequireJS, maybe?
2. Include a simple JS bootstrap using modules.
3. Tune Media Queries according to common needs

Suggestions?

I'm listening! Just don't go down the "OMG why are u doing this HTML5 boilerplate is sooooo much better"-path. As I said, it's supposed to be simples, and above all, a personal experiment and learning tool. ;D
