#2Really really want a good comparison/review between LESS, SASS, Scaffold, xCSS, etc.
Edit: Apparently this is not lesscss but less the css framework. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part, but I think it should be understandable...

#3Note: this is not LESS the CSS preprocessor, it's a CSS framework focused on creating layouts that target multiple devices.

#4Cool. I agree with Charuru that it will be nice to see how this compares to similar resources.
One issue with the website: I know the tagline is making use of the name, but it sounds uneducated to say "Now with less features, one grid," when "fewer" is the word to use. Maybe it would be better to say something like, "Less complicated, one grid." There are those out there who may dismiss something wonderful on the basis of a small error like this.

I clicked on it thinking its LessCss but had to come back.

#6Browsers that don't support media-queries, like ie8 and below, simply ignore everything inside inline media-queries. This means they'll use the default five-column layout – which is more than sufficient for desktop usage – and ignore everything else.
the 5-column layout is 768px wide is default fir older browsers. Which means i get to see 768px wide layout even on my netbook which easily supports the usual 960px?
Guess 960px would be fine as a default. I hope this has some kind of custom layout generator like BlueprintCSS which has Blueprinter.
But other than that, this is actually uber-cool.
P.S: Thanks to the site designer for mentioning the names of the typefaces used on the site.

#7I like the idea of cross browser flexibility built in and I'd like to try this on a Rails app but not quite sure how I would actually use it.
Can you combine the columns for the ability to build larger boxes? Or use less than 5 columns on the widest site?

Yep, netbooks get the 768 px layout. I figured fully supporting tablets and 1280 px laptops is more important than using up a couple hundred more pixels on netbooks. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs….
No custom layout generators or bells or whistles, sorry. Kept this intentionally simple. :)

Not LESS, not LESS CSS, not Less, not Less CSS.
Just Less Framework. :)

Definitely appreciate the attention to detail. :) I’ll consider coming up with something more, err, proper!
