Small size and simple, clean design
From 4 comments
I like it. Definitely gets the point of "KISS".
Rogerh91 on HNThis is nice, will definitely use it in my next project.
aliirz on HNIt has a very nice flat design to it, I like it. I might just use it and possibly extend it at some point.
sodafountan on HNWell, I'm impressed. Looks sort of like an old bootstrap.

A 10-column grid is an odd choice; 12 is more common
From 3 comments
Why a 10 column grid? 12 makes much more sense to me since it is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 while 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5. 12 gives more options with hardly any…
akcreek on HNYup, that's a really weird choice. The most common layouts are the ones with 3 or 4 equal sized columns, and I just don't see how one would use this grid to do that?
ivanhoe on HNNice work, although a little useless right now. It would be nice if your browser support was a little more informative than "The latest versions of Chrome, FF, Safari". What…

Not needed as a framework; plain CSS is enough
From 2 comments
At this point/size, why do you even need a 'framework'? I think anybody who wants to adopt this kit and modify it a bit might as well just code the css themselves.
granttimmerman on HNMost of you people are very smart, and I'm sure code very complex apps/services. Seriously, you can write this much CSS on your own. You don't need a framework.

Tables break on small screens
From 2 comments
The tables are a bit busted on the smallest breakpoint, but other than that it's pretty awesome for the size. Well played sir.
sekasi on HNVery nice. Although the tables mess of the responsiveness a bit. Don't compress fully.

Size claim under 2 kb is inaccurate; file is 2.594 kb

Switch to a 12-column grid
From 2 comments
Honestly, it was a choice I made late in the night. I think I'm going to rework it now to be 12 columns.
J-H on HNThanks for all the very good points. I really need to do some more testing on other browsers, and then I'll be able to give a minimum requirement. So that will definitely be part…

Make columns stack on mobile
From 1 comment
The columns should probably break down and resize to 100% for mobile devices - your 420px container. I'm not sure what will fit in a the one, two, and three width columns...…

How would one use this framework in practice
From 1 comment
How would one even use this 'framework'? One would imagine that the first step is to design the web site, then implement it, and it's unlikely that the design looks similar to…

This is neat! It also seems worth noting Yahoo's excellent Pure (http://purecss.io/) here, too. It's a tiny bit larger with a few more features, but modular and fairly…
