Gravity

A micro framework for building and prototyping beautiful responsive websites with SCSS, HAML and Ruby. Feel free to fork the project and make it your own. The framework now runs on Sinatra which will generally make building static websites easier.

OSX Quick Start

1 minute setup guide (assumes you have Ruby 1.9.x and Git installed).

gem install sinatra
git clone https://github.com/owainlewis/gravity
cd /gravity
ruby app.rb -p 3000

If all goes well you should see the following server message

Sinatra/1.3.2 has taken the stage on 3000 for development with backup from Thin

To start watching your SCSS files open another terminal window and use the built in rake task:

rake watch
