dbushell-Origin

Welcome to Origin, my front-end development starter kit. Origin is one part automated build tasks and one part baseline pattern library.

About this project

Like the Web itself this project is forever a work in progress. I’ve decided to make Origin public for those interested. Origin it not a final solution, framework, or boilerplate I expect others to use “as is”.

From time to time Origin will include experimental and far from optimal build tasks. You may prefer a less bespoke workflow like Yeoman or a CSS framework like Inuit.css without my preferences.
