Welcome to Bones!
Bones is a lightweight and flexible framework to help you create great-looking websites right out of the box.
It's a styling framework -- a set of tools to help you create good, clean websites without much CSS effort.
It is similar to Zurb's Foundation and Twitter's Bootstrap. So why the heck would I rebuild what's already been done? Well, in short, I found myself spending a lot of time trying to undo some of the styles that come standard with Foundation and Bootstrap. I wanted Bones to be even more stripped-down and simple out of the gate, and leave creating anything fancy to you.
Bones is a little baby. As it grows up, it will get better at what it does. But it'll also get fatter. So we're going to strive to keep Bones a healthy, young lad (or lady) by trying to find a balance between flexibility, feature-rich and weight.
Documentation can be found in the docs directory within the repo. A doc site is in development.
We have several features we're looking to add by v2.0, which is already in development. Here's the running list:
- doc site
- templates
- better examples / example site
Of course, there's also a running list of features and functionality to be added to the framework itself.
Got a simple fix or feature to add?
- Fork it
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature) - Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Add some feature') - Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature) - Create new Pull Request
