Tacit is a primitive CSS framework for dummies, like myself, who don't know anything about graphic design but want their web services to look eatable. No classes, no layouts. Just design plain and simple web pages compliant with HTML5 and they will look OK.

Details are here: yegor256.github.io/tacit

Just add it to your HTML (replace VERSION with the latest version number, which you can find here):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.rawgit.com/yegor256/tacit/gh-pages/tacit-css-VERSION.min.css"/>
  </head>
</html>

Or simply download tacit-css.min.css and use together with your HTML by adding:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="tacit.min.css"/>
  </head>
</html>

This blog post explains it in even more details: Tacit, a CSS Framework Without Classes.

How to contribute

Fork repository, make changes, send us a pull request. We will review your changes and apply them to the master branch shortly, provided they don't violate our quality standards. To avoid frustration, before sending us your pull request please run full Grunt build:

$ npm install
$ npm test

To develop it locally, open index.html in a browser and then run:

$ npm run dev

Now you can make changes to .scss files and refresh the page in the browser. CSS will be recompiled automatically on every change you make.

Commit messages guidelines

  • Every commit/PR should preferably be linked to a Github issue. If it's not, it's recommended to create an Issue first and then commit and open a PR;
  • Commit messages should follow this pattern:
 #<issue-number> - short description

(optional) * bullet-points with more details if necessary
  • If the pattern is not followed - commit messages should at the very least reference the #<issue-number>.
