I made it my specific goal not to have this as a bootstrap alternate - there's already boostrap and foundation - why do we need more? In addition, I'm very much against using classes to dry up your css. You should be using mixins or extends to build object-oriented css - that's the principle that roots css is built upon.
Rather than catering to non-developers, I like to encourage people to learn more about development so they can write clean code and make beautiful sites. If that means less adoption, so be it - at least I won't be polluting the web with poorly built sites : )
That being said, this is open source, so if that's something you want to work on, you are more than welcome!
- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoI don't like bootstrap / foundation. We need a stylus based alternative to those. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4893514 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4893514 Since I'm a dev I would never use a compiled version of such a framework, but having adoption by non-devs would benefit the community and create a market for devs to create things for. I wouldn't think of it as catering to them but creating an easier on-boarding process.
- jenius 14y agoOk, i see what you're saying. That is the exact mission of this library (https://github.com/jenius/roots-css https://github.com/jenius/roots-css) which is behind roots. I would love any help or advice on making this go where you imagine it can. Hit me up via email or twitter and let's talk about it!
