Pro tip: Link your demo from the top of your readme file, especially when you're handing out the Github URL.

Any links to examples? The main page shows the HTML code but not what the resulting styles look like...

Very cool, but I don't see file size as a significant factor when making a decision about what library to use. With SPDY, fast pipes & 4G, minification etc, worrying about super tiny file sizes is becoming a legacy issue.

I've uploaded a screenshot for anyone who just wants a peek: <a href="http://decodering.com/post/41361083824/helium" rel="nofollow">http://decodering.com/post/41361083824/helium</a><p>(I tweaked the padding too.)

&#62; The compiled default CSS file weighs in at a comparatively tiny 30k, versus approximately 100k for Bootstrap and almost 200k for Foundation.<p>At first I was sceptical that this was even close to a fair comparison, however even after stripping Bootstrap back to comparable functionality its CSS still weighs in at 68KB.<p>I will be watching this project with interest, but I think it probably needs a lot more use before all the edge case bugs (that Bootstrap has probably already dealt with) get ironed out.

Skeleton [1] is a nice lightweight alternative too, with very discreet default styles.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.getskeleton.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.getskeleton.com</a>

Are there like many of these floating around? It seems like We get a "Like Bootstrap" every week or so. Ink,<p><a href="http://ink.sapo.pt/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://ink.sapo.pt/index.php</a><p>Didn't even got to frontpage two weeks ago. And possibly many others.

Very interesting stuff. I have been working on my own project this way from scratch too. Gotten so far as under 100kb with all images [raw data URIs] combined so far.<p>Will give this project a close look in the weekend.

What's the selector count and how does it tackle specificity?

Very interesting.<p>An example site would be excellent.

I might just be missing it, but is this published under an open source license? I didn't see it noted anywhere...

I could really see myself using this soon for a project I am working on. Glad someone made this.
