I'm a big fan of Basscss also; since discovering it a couple years ago, I've almost exclusively used it (a custom fork of it) as the basis for everything I build on the web. It has a logical class naming scheme that easy to remember for me, and keeps things manageable (minimal inheritance) by composing atomic styles to build up higher-order styles. I use it for React applications, but have stuck with the Sass variant, to leverage the library of accumulated themes and "style modules" I've built up over time, which are based on the atomic design principle that Basscss naturally encourages.
- dmix 10y agoI was just building a Jekyll blog and was saddened to see the SASS version of Basscss hasn't been updated in the last year. The maintainer in the docs said that PostCSS is the best way to go, but I was trying to avoid using Node. That might be impossible these days when doing front-end. Regardless, I know managing OSS is tough but I hope JXNBLK keeps active on the project and other people help him out.
- Griffinsauce 10y agoOut curiosity: why are you avoiding node?
- dmix 10y agoI just don't like mixing a ruby static site generator with node. I ultimately just moved to Metalsmith for site generation to use a purely node framework...
- eyepulp 10y agoApropos of nothing, but I just migrated a site to metalsmith, and I've really enjoyed the results and ease of building out any functionality that was lacking in the framework (though most needs were met already).
