Looks nice. But there should be some way to see the source without downloading a zip.

Github is an easy answer, something like what the HTML5 Boilerplate or backbone.js does would be even cooler.

Wow, on Hacker News, cheers guys!

I'm Harry, the guy who made inuit.css. There is a link to inuit.css in the page's h1, which I know is way too hidden: http://csswizardry.com/inuitcss/css/inuit.css

I'm a designer/front-end dev at heart so I don't know Git(hub) at all. I have made an account about an hour ago though and I'm hoping to get inuit.css on there asap. Just gotta learn it now.

Cheers, H

perhaps a nice cheat sheet may be up your street? I found looking at a blueprint one a nice way to get an overview of what is available.

Any reason for using height:101% instead of overflow-y:auto for scrollbars?

Also, shouldn't the utf-8 declaration be at the top before a massive block of commented text? Though in practice I'm not sure if it matters much either way.

Thanks

overflow-y, although relatively stable, has only been officially proposed in CSS3. So I could (and might) use overflow-y, but the height:101%; is a hangover from when overflow-y was a non-standard bit of CSS.

I don't dislike the overflow-y method, I just used the one I've used for year. I might update inuit.css to use the more obvious overflow-y property soon though.

Good spot on the charset declaration though. Thank you very much. I'll update on my lunch break or something :)

Thanks, H

Thanks, I had no idea that was a link. The color is the same as your logo color, which is tres confusing.

I just created a gist here: https://gist.github.com/942218

Should be a nice middle ground?

The brief tutorial that appears after you finish creating a Github repository is the quick and easy way to get it up on Github. Install git, create a github repo, then follow that tutorial and you're up and running.
