Speedo

This is a layout gem intended as a backdrop for developing rails applications quickly. Its intention is to speed initial development, removing the need for (hopefully) any intensive front-end development until the app is functional (i.e. near completion). It provides the common tools CrankApps typically uses for front-end development.

This gem is designed with both web-sites and web-apps in mind. A few minor changes can convert one into the other. See the bottom of styles.scss for code to uncomment, as well as home.coffee.

There is a link in the footer ("How") to a page that contains many examples of the implementation of the various tools and plugins.

This project uses MIT-LICENSE.

Usage

In your Gemfile:

gem 'speedo'

Then run:

bundle install
rails generate speedo:install

• app/assets/stylesheets/speedo/speedo.css.scss and it's siblings
• app/assets/javascripts/swim.js.coffee
• config/locales/speedo.en.yml
