# Vertebral
Vertebral is a simple, responsive boilerplate to kickstart any responsive project.
Check out https://github.com/jkernech/vertebral for documentation and details.
## Getting started
Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/jkernech/vertebral.git`
Install dependencies: `npm install`
### Why it's awesome
Vertebral is lightweight and simple. It styles only raw HTML elements (with a few exceptions) and provides a responsive grid. Nothing more.
- Around 800 lines of CSS unminified and with comments
- It's a starting point, not a UI framework
- No compiling or installing...just vanilla CSS
## What differs from Skeleton ?
#### Fixes/PR have been incorporated
- Button disable styles
- Formatting for date inputs
- Text utilities for alignment
- Handle `:active` state
cf. [Skeleton issues](https://github.com/dhg/Skeleton/issues) and [PR](https://github.com/dhg/Skeleton/pulls)
#### Integrate normalize.css
Instead of having to add a css reference, normalize.css is directly embedded in vertebral.css
#### Features addition
- Form fields
- Links styling
- Responsive images
- Responsive embed utilities (iframe, video, embed...)
- Block shapes
- Text utilities
#### Styles for mobile platforms
- Android
- iOS
- Windows Phone
## Browser support
- Chrome latest
- Firefox latest
- Opera latest
- Safari latest
- IE latest
The above list is non-exhaustive. Skeleton works perfectly with almost all older versions of the browsers above, though IE certainly has large degradation prior to IE9.
