=========
wbBoiler uses a bunch of proven practices to get up and running. We're borrowing some concepts used by Bootstrap, h5bp, and others. To get going quickly, clone the repo and run
make install # run this the first time you use wbBoiler only
make watch
from the project directory. Changes to *.less and script.js/plugin.js will trigger a build.
Note: the makefile depends on Node.js and the Node executables UglifyJS, Prefixr, JSHint, and Recess, all of which are available through npm install -g. We've included a make install
action that will run the install on the latest versions of these requirements, assuming you have npm installed.
=========
We've included meta tags by default in the header for Facebook's Open Graph integration and Twitter Cards. (Note: Twitter Cards is not currently available to the public except by opt-in application.)
=========
External tools we are using or borrowing from include:
- Skeleton (css grid system and simple ui elements)
- Normalize.css
- CSS-Tricks' Chris Coyier's Less Mixins Snippets
- Less CSS
- jQuery
- Modernizr
- Parts and pieces of H5bp
