Would be nice if you can add or link something like a registry with skeleton components / plugins / snippets that people create and publish. It could be a github-wiki page, so that everybody can add their components. It is always hard to find matching components.

I totally agree. Been thinking about the best way to handle this and will have something in the near near future. Promise.

This is a really solid framework. A couple of humble suggestions: 1. Package up your site itself on github as one of the examples. Mixing up some elements of your base site with some of the landing bits would make for a solid base for a lot of people. 2. Get a compatibility table together stat. To help you out, I did a quick test of both your main site and the landing page. Nothing in depth, just the basics. The foll…

This is awesome! Browser chart more than just a quick list might be nice. Adding it as an outstanding issue to my long list of improvements. Appreciate the feedback!

You're welcome. Based on my testing, I think you don't even really need a detailed chart, just a compatibility list. You'd be safe listing it as compatible with:

Mozilla Firefox (desktop and mobile)

Google Chrome (desktop and mobile)

Chromium

Internet Explorer 9 and later

Opera (desktop and mobile)

Safari (desktop and mobile) [this is an almost-positive guess but test to be sure]

You could then work backwards a bit on version numbering, trying older versions until you see where it breaks. You could put Firefox 31+ for now (since I tested 31 ESR), but that would be misleading since I'd wager it works quite a ways back on Firefox. Same with Chrome, Opera, and Safari. You could even just leave those versions off as users generally have the latest version of Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. Safari is another story since it's OS-tied like IE is, so you have a lot more users using an outdated version of desktop Mac OS X's Safari than outdated Firefox or Chrome users on the same OS versions. Leopard users are stuck on Safari 5.0.6 and Lion users are stuck on Safari 6.1. If you can get your hands on really just those two versions to double check, you'd be set and could list it as Safari 5+.

I may test back a bit as I'm playing with using Skeleton for an older site using Drupal with a single-page theme. I can drop you a note if I do.

Hey Dave, really appreciate your work. Skeleton was just what I needed when I first started getting to grips with web design - it's been an invaluable tool to me while learning the trade. To see you've released an update is a joy, can't wait to dig in and start using it. Thanks a lot!

Great! Like everyone else here I thank you for Skeleton. 1.0 is what basicly taught me CSS!

Working on a project using 2.0 already! Love the percentage based grid I just wish there was a way to adjust the gutter width.

Thanks again.
