If it helps, I can assure you personally that it will. Roots is being aggressively developed right now and is already in use for several high-visibility projects at the company I work at full time. If anything, in a couple years roots will

It's a much larger and more comprehensive library, most of nib is included in it, and it's actually developed, maintained, and documented.

Thanks riquito - I'll work on these. They show up very clearly on my screen, but I totally get that not every screen is mine, I'll try to bump up the contrast a bit. For the simple button, I don't disagree, it's more of a base to build on t

It's not intended to be responsive. The fact that it's somewhat fluid was added as an afterthought. This page is documentation for a css library, which is not something you would be using on a tablet (unless something crazy has happened and

Hey jbm, author of roots here. Really glad that you ended up using this (probably quite a few releases ago), and thanks for the feedback! I don't quite understand what you're getting at here though, because the libraries you are comparing i

Hey wow didn't realize this had been posted on hacker news - I'm the author of roots and here way too late to field comments. Thanks so much for the feedback Ian! No need to assume such a critical tone, I'm open to any and all feedback, so

What kind of founder doesn't think this? "In the future everyone will be using this ____ that I'm making" - whether it's a virtual pet app or a new distribution of ubuntu. The problem is that just thinking this is the case is so far from

I'm working on getting there with axis css. It pushed back the design opinions to a css level and makes them modular and easily customizable: http://roots.cx/axis/

Really like this little framework, was just checking it out a week ago. To the author or anyone else interested, I'm making a little tool that does something very similar ( http://roots.cx ) and am aggressively adding functionality in order

This is insane and very impressive, but I have to ask -- how does he have access to all these tools, and all this expertise? Is this a product of his job as an engineer? These seem like a lot of very expensive and large metalworking tools a

First of all, this is awesome. Great idea, can't believe it hasn't been around till now, and will definitely be using it. The only thing I could change here is the "x" icon when expanded. Someone mentioned here that they would be unnerved h

Really good response, and you're totally right. I was applying my own personal bias to the comment, and that wasn't fair.

I think that depends on what your startup is. If it's some silly app solving a first world problem that will honestly be replaced by something else in a year, I couldn't agree with you more. On the other hand, if it's something that really

I would absolutely love this. Can't get enough solid sysops info - as a dev I find the docs, tutorials, etc out there fairly esoteric. Anything written recently and actually finished helps a ton : )

ah nice work! the only issue here is the upside down ones, which i fear takes a bit of human touch... either way, when they are all done, i'll compile them all together into a pdf and post that so it's easy to read through. like a little bo
