Why have a max width of 960px? "The grid is a 12-column fluid grid with a max width of 960px"
You can easily change this to whatever you like using .container max-width

#42Hey ya'll - I'm Dave the creator of Skeleton. Grateful to see it on HN. I wrote about why I created v2.0 in a weird format here: https://medium.com/@dhg/dear-skeleton-452f4bb07d69 I'm hoping the update really helps anyone who's been using Skeleton for a while or anyone trying to get into RWD. Thanks :)
I started using Skeleton nearly 3 years ago and there are still bits of it lingering in my base shared scss files in one form or another. Thanks for your hard work.
That's what it's for :)

Thank you so much for the hard work. I've been using Skeleton for a personal project even though it hadn't been updated in over 2 years. As a (mostly) backend developer, Skeleton has proven to be the best possible starting point for me to learn on; there's nothing tricky about it. This is a very nice early Christmas present!
Cheers <3

Hi Dave, great work on Skeleton. Was the original project a side-project or was it in use for projects at Twitter and / or Medium? Wondering about how it seems to be a sort of antithesis to Bootstrap (as in no preprocessor / small footprint / sane defaults).
Haha, just a side project. Weirdly bootstrap, foundation and skeleton all have similar roots together, but a story for another day. I made it cause it was what I wanted to start projects and seemed like there might be others :)

Oh and as for Twitter and Medium - nope! Just for personal stuff on the side, though it definitely worked its way into small parts of those properties.

Re: Skeleton 2.0 CSS Framework
#47Skeleton is the only "sane" CSS boilerplate framework I've encountered. It's incredibly minimal -- the entire framework is so small and elegant that I can crank out websites without delving into the subtleties of the documentation. I find it really intuitive to use, and while I don't do a lot of web dev, when I do it's almost always with Skeleton. Anyways, I'm so glad you're working on Skeleton again! Congrats on the…
Glad to hear you enjoy using it. Skeleton seems to work well for those just getting started with front end or want something extremely simple.
Cheers!

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
I can see your point, but want to add why I recently started to add this meta-tag on most of my responsive sites: 1. images start to look blurry 2. input fields change the scale of the page and seem to confuse some users (at least in some test-cases). On the other hand I try to improve accessability by making sites screen-reader-friendly and using high contrasts. I have also seen a lot of people using "bigger fonts"…
I read a lot on my phone and I don't have great eyesight. If I cannot zoom the website I'm looking at, I often cannot read it.
I honestly hadn't considered this case. Let me dig into it and see if I can find a solution that works best all around.
Re: Skeleton 2.0 CSS Framework
#49Looks really awesome! One piece of feedback I have is that I don't think it's wise to put "maximum-scale=1" in the viewport meta-tag because it makes pages hard to read for people with less-than-perfect vision (because it prevents zooming in on phones). I created a github issue about this too: https://github.com/dhg/Skeleton/issues/173 Is there an actual benefit to having this on web pages? I see it a lot (unfortunat…
Thanks for opening the issue. Gonna dive into those very soon. appreciate you taking the time to add it to the list :)
Re: Skeleton 2.0 CSS Framework
#50Hey man, super cool to see you come back to the project after so long. Skeleton was the only understandable framework that was on the go when I started developing, and it really helped me get to grips with RWD. Every time I'd start new projects I'd come back to Skeleton for reference and now have my own extended version thats always being refined, ExoSkeleton ;)
Thanks a mil the work you put in man, Cheers!
