Skeleton README

The project's README from github.com/dhg/Skeleton. As one markdown file: README.md.

Skeleton

Skeleton is a simple, responsive boilerplate to kickstart any responsive project.

Check out http://getskeleton.com for documentation and details.

Getting started

There are a couple ways to download Skeleton:

What's in the download?

The download includes Skeleton's CSS, Normalize CSS as a reset, a sample favicon, and an index.html as a starting point.

Why it's awesome

Skeleton is lightweight and simple. It styles only raw HTML elements (with a few exceptions) and provides a responsive grid. Nothing more.

Browser support

The above list is non-exhaustive. Skeleton works perfectly with almost all older versions of the browsers above, though IE certainly has large degradation prior to IE9.

License

All parts of Skeleton are free to use and abuse under the open-source MIT license.

Extensions

The following are extensions to Skeleton built by the community. They are not officially supported, but all have been tested and are compatible with v2.0 (exact release noted):

Skeleton
What is this?Skeleton is a dead-simple, responsive CSS boilerplate for quickly starting a mobile-friendly web project.
Is it a UI framework or just a starter stylesheet?It is not a UI framework, just a starting point: around 400 lines of plain CSS that style raw HTML elements and provide a responsive grid, nothing more.
How do I get it running in my project?Download the zip or clone the repo; the download includes Skeleton's CSS, Normalize CSS as a reset, a sample favicon, and an index.html to start from.
Do I need to compile or install anything first?No, it's vanilla CSS with no compiling or installing required.
Is the GitHub repo version stable to use?The repo is under active development, so for a stable, safe version you should use the zipped download instead of cloning.
Which browsers does it support?It supports the latest Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and IE, and works well with most older versions too, though IE has notable degradation before IE9.
Can I use it with Sass or LESS instead of plain CSS?Yes, the community maintains unofficial Sass and LESS ports of Skeleton that make it easier to customize the grid, colors, and media queries, though they are tested only against v2.0.
Why would I pick Skeleton over a full UI framework like Bootstrap?Skeleton deliberately stays tiny and minimal, styling only raw HTML elements with a responsive grid instead of giving you a full component library, so it's meant as a lightweight starting point rather than a complete framework.
What are similar projects?milligram, bootstrap, dashboards, web-starter-kit, LearnCS8-Resume, uikit, mdb-ui-kit, pure
Which topics is it in?micro-framework, grid, sass, static-site, boilerplate, responsive, frontend-framework, beginner-friendly, css, html, ui, web-development
