It's 245kb and over 9000lines of CSS :-/ Is there a reason why it's double the size of other CSS Frameworks?

Edit: Full disclosure - I develop Pure (purecss.io)

Did a quick browse through the code. A couple of things jumped out: 1. A number of CSS classes have 'furatto' as a prefix ex. '.furrato-block'. This seems a bit counter-productive as the word itself does not add any value to meaning of the class names. 2. I notice that for the responsive design the class is '.row-fluid', but since responsive is now a norm it may make sense to have '.row' be fluid/default and have a '…

Hey thanks a lot for the feedback!!...it's really great!...I totally agree with on the row-fluid class name I'll updated that. I want to make a more semantic class names to give more meaning to the markup.... I'll consider the font on the navbar...probably just reduce the font weight would do the trick....

Thanks again for the feedback. I'll be working on it! :)

Maybe explain why it's a better choice than Bootstrap? It's certainly visually different, but still awfully similar to most end users.

You got that right....it uses the same format for naming the classes but it have some other features bootstrap does not.. I just think to choose a framework you have to see if the class names make sense...how easy is to adapt and change...to fill your needs...just my humble opinion...

I'll continue working to give a better api and built more useful addons

Cheers!

I'm seeing some strange scrolling on iPhone 4S. There's no momentum - it just instantly stops

I'll create the issue on github...yeah some else just notice a double scrollbar....it is probably related!.....thanks for the feedback!

Same problem on my iPad.

I noticed that Furatto uses Normalize, can I use this framework with the legacy version of Normalize? I am stuck working on intranet apps and need to support IE 7/8.

I was just about to link to Pure since it looks almost identical on the surface (and I just tried it out this morning for a prototype). For those wondering, Pure comes in at ~4kb.

> but it have some other features bootstrap does not

But what's the differences beyond visual changes (which, frankly, aren't important).

Yeah, I could barely see the diagonals on the 'w's in the headers.

Hi hobonumber,

First of all I woukd like to say that your framework is one of the ones I like the most when developing mine...

I know it's a big file but it is because it has a lot of comments, I have to work on the sass version to change the comments style...the minified version is close to 133 kb or so...but I definitely have to reduce it and make it lighter...

Any piece of advice?
