Agile UX: What do you think about the Bones microframework for rapid prototyping?

  • Frequently I need to mockup a feature or element. Doing this from scratch can eat up some time. Here are some frameworks and my thoughts on them Twitter Bootstrap - Bloated. Too opinionated with design. Foundation 5 - Very heavy. Good for most sites but not for testing small elements or specific features. Skeleton - Lightweight. Too bloated with images and opinionated with typography. They are all great frameworks, but what if I just need to test a very small feature? I don't use photoshop until I have tested the layout in the browser. I design in the browser So I created https://github.com/JGallardo/bones to provide a starting point. Here is the file structure. index.html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title></title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bones.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/layout.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css"> <!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script> <![endif]--> </head> <body> <!-- JS Declations --> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" ></script> <script src="js/scripts.js"></script> </body> </html> CSS folder holds these files bones.css - resets and viewport included layout.css - designated to hold styles related to the grid styles.css - where the custom styles can be added JS folder scripts.js - where custom scripts can be added IMG folder has the following sub-folders content - where you put actual content template - images for the site (logo, backgrounds, etc.) The point of this microframework is that you can be anywhere and have an idea. Then just copy this locally and get started to hash out an idea. Without having to fuss with the basics.
