What are we using for layout? #5

Closed grayghostvisuals closed 11 years ago

grayghostvisuals commented 11 years ago

Ok, Gridset seems to be a #hotdrama issue so what are gonna use for layout? Would like it still to be responsive, but it does not need to be "small-screen-friendly." This is something for developers on a desktop machine… right?

IMO…

Susy Grids is way confusing and over complicated for this
Golden Grid has some cool stuff goin' on

Golden Grid is cool actually, I've never tried it. But why not just keep it real simple since we're starting from scratch, and build a % grid with Sass:

In that spirit, we could build it on top of inuit.css since what we're building fits really well with an OOCSS approach:

:shipit: Alrighty! sounds good to me. I'll let you set this up seeing as you know more of Harry's grid pattern lib. I follow at your command sire.

DOOD LOOK AT THIS! I don't know about you but this looks fucking sweet! :+1:

That looks pretty slick! Haven't seen it before. Looks pretty robust. Let's give it a try!

grayghostvisuals commented 11 years ago

Dug into it a little today. The one thing that I saw was the example files don't link up to everything properly

Closing this issue—I'm just gonna roll with inuit.css/@chriscoyier's Don't Overthink It Grids. K.I.S.S.
