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

Honestly I think the biggest problem with Bootstrap is that everyone uses Bootstrap (because it's so nicely done) and therefore your site looks like the other million sites on the web that use it.

So why not standardize on the Bootstrap conventions and release it as a Bootstrap compatible theme?

the font looks way too thin to me

I'm with you on this -- the headings render pretty thin on my tablet: http://imgur.com/FUtdjmD

Despite this, I'm totally in love with the framework -- it feels like all the good things of Bootstrap and Foundation all in one. Definitely keeping an eye on this.

It looks pretty nice, and has some nice JS but... On Chrome (latest) Windows, I have double scrollbars. And if I may nitpick a few things... 1. The pagination #'s are offcenter. 2. The titles (Navbar, Pagination, etc are almost invisible on my screen)

Ditto on Chrome (29 dev) on OS X 10.6.8 -- double scrollbars.

Yay, yet another fixed-black-top-nav CSS framework! With major bugs!

There are a few issues that made me close the web site after a few seconds. I'm usually very excited about frontend frameworks and add them right to my bookmarks; not in this case though. - The Furatto title on the start page is way too close to the top navigation. - That thin font in the navigation & title renders pretty ugly on my MBA/Chrome. - When I clicked the first navigation button seeing the text move down ve…

Yeah it is really helpful!...sorry to hear it does not fill your eye...but I'll be working on it to improve it!

Thanks!

One thing that will prevent people from switching to this (from Bootstrap, or similar) is the lack of navbar search form. Besides that, very beautiful. The tag edit is a nice addition to most front-end frameworks.

I'll be adding this kind of features in the near future....I'll keep you posted!

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)

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?

Hey Kurenn, I would pay close attention to every CSS rule and really think about if it's needed or not. Also, try to follow some CSS principle such as OOCSS or SMACSS so that you reduce selector bloat.

ie: ".tabbar-inner { ... }" is better than ".tabbar .inner { ... }"

I think the visual elements do make a difference but taking that out...it has probably not much differences with bootstrap...I'll be working to make it more semantic, lightweight...and that should give a better development experience... You have any suggestions?

They don't make a difference. With bootstrap, it's trivial to change the design.
