TACHYONS

WIP (heavily in flux). More documetation and examples will be coming soon.

Build responsive, performant, and easy to maintain interfaces faster.

Principles

Everything should be 100% responsive
Everything should be readable on any device
Everything should be as performant as possible
Designing in the browser should be easy
It should be easy to change an interface without breaking any existing interfaces
Doing one thing extremely well promotes reusability and reduces repetition
CSS is for users. Not developers.

Getting started

Set up the project by cloning the repo, navigating into it, and installing the necessary dependencies by running the following commands:

 git clone git@github.com:mrmrs/tachyons.git yourProject
 cd yourProject
 rm -rf .git
 git init
 git add remote git@github.com/yourUserName/yourProject.git
 npm install

You can alternatively fork the repo and clone your own version of it.

To run the development environment

npm start

This will watch the sass directory and do the following on file change:

Compile scss files down to css/tachyons.css and css/tachyons.min.css
Run autoprefixer on css/tachyons.css (this allows you to keep vendor prefixes out of your source files)
Run csslint and print the results to your terminal window
Run an instance of browser-sync - this causes any browsers or devices pointing to your local server to reload on file change. It will also keep all browsers in sync with eachother i.e. they will all scroll simultaneously. If you fill out a form on one device all devices will be updated with that content. It's a huge help if you are testing multiple browsers or devices.
