The screen size simulator at the top is a nice touch. It's also amusing that they use the Orbit slider from Zurb, not bad...just amusing.
Similar name, too. Foundation from Zurb...

#32This is not a criticism of this project specifically, but I feel like when you come out with a framework like this you should have a big "Why you should use Framework XYZ instead of Boostrap" section somewhere, because this is the main question most people will have.
This uses Sass, Bootstrap uses Less.
Its pretty easy to switch that now https://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass

#33Using Safari 6.0.2, clicking on the first input on this page crashes Safari with a speed and efficiency that can only be admired. http://groundwork.sidereel.com/?url=tooltips-js I wish Safari could shut down that quickly when I manually quit. No problem with Chrome.
I thought you were exaggerating. I barely finish clicking the mouse before the entire program gives up.

#34Well I found this framework quite interesting, I don't want Bootstrap's visuals and baggage so I found this very appealing, the grid system is robust and appears to solve my problem which Bootstrap doesn't easily. As for the visuals, well I'm of the opinion that they don't need to look good to be good. Visuals designers usually aren't good at making generic frameworks, it is more of a programmer's undertaking to distill HTML & CSS into it's reusable parts, so for a framework to look good out of the box it needs both skill sets from it's developers.

That is the first thing that crossed my mind after I bookmarked the site.

I assume Belhor means the UI responsiveness. The :hover transitions are a bit too long for my tastes and it definitely creates a laggy feeling.
Scrolling up and down the page feels a little laggy too (Chrome 24, Win7). Is that a drawback of how the 'responsiveness' is coded?
Going to the URL of the iframe directly is much faster for me: http://groundwork.sidereel.com/home.html

A glance at their scss https://github.com/groundworkcss/groundwork/tree/master/scss looks very much like foundation

CMIIW, the project you mentioned is not really usable for customized bootstrap, it's all-or-nothing.
Since I want to include (customized) Bootstrap into Compass but don't use fancy stuff (variables etc), I simply rename bootstrap.css to bootstrap.scss and be done with it.
