Chopstick Boilerplate

By these people

Chopstick Boilerplate creates a structure and gives you the tools that allow you to easily design bespoke web projects.

Chopstick Boilerplate makes use of the Chopstick SCSS framework. It adds tools like Jekyll and Gulp to simplify designing and building in the browser. The boilerplate can be used as a styleguide, to build static websites or to speed up making HTML prototypes.

SCSS structure.

Project specific code should be written in the components layer. The Chopstick SCSS is maintained in separate repositories which are loaded with npm. We believe these partials should be easy to update and configurable without writing new code.
