Kube - CSS framework

- It would be better if it was hosted on github (or bitbucket). So everyone could improve it (but again what's the license ?) There's a lot of competition in this field and at this stage I don't see any valid reason to use this one, rather than say Bootstrap, Foundation or Skeleton.

Yes, you are absolutely right about license. Even i was reading that article (Tax_Cloud one right?).

One of the examples shows the responsive features: http://imperavi.com/kube/demo/

...And it works pretty well. I apologize

I think they don't mean to give it away free in the long run. They did it for redactor[1] too. (I think it is the full featured awesome and simple WYSIWYG editor)

It's totally upto the developer to decide upon on the licence. There are lot of projects under FREE, but not open sourced.

I emailed the authors about a week ago and Alex clarified that free to them means it can be redistributed freely. I agree that an actual license would be reassuring though.

It seems like bootstrap with less features

paulgb3• 14 years ago

Sometimes, that's exactly what you need.

Nice but Zurb does this and so much more.

arunoda3• 14 years ago

As others said, why not bootstrap?

highace• 14 years ago

Because bootstrap is totally overused, some differentiation would be nice.

Zurb is more flexible and less opinionated.

I've used Bootstrap and switched to Kube for a recent project. It's smaller and feels cleaner. Responsiveness feels tacked on in bootstrap rather than baked-in like Kube. Bootstrap is great for apps, but if you just need a good grid and some defaults for a content site, Kube is great.

For me, Bootstrap feels like overkill for a simple site. I use skeleton, but will give this a try.

Thanks for the mention, wheaties. We're very proud of Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com), and our team devotes countless hours to ensuring it's the best responsive front-end framework out there.

I would love if there was a project like "bootstriped", where I would get all the classes but with minimal styling, with just a visual hint of what they should look like. I could very easily adapt them to my own needs and designs. Does that sounds like a good idea? I might actually do it (or not).

This is great. These frameworks usually have a .css and a .min.css file.

I would love to see one that has a .verbose.css where all possible attributes or properties are listed and commented out in the brackets for that element. As a reference or resource to grab a chunk from for your own .css file.
