Welcome

Thank you for taking interest in the SpaceFramework.

The SpaceFramework is a front-end framework build in SASS which focuses on building websites rapidly, responsive and pixel perfect. The framework helps you with centralizing typography, centralizing layouts elements and delivering vertical alignment on typography and elements. Each component you create, can be placed modular in the website and writing exceptions belongs to the past.

Were most front-end frameworks focus only on the horizontal grid, the SpaceFramework works differently. Instead it has a strong focus on the vertical grid and the vertical rhythms. The horizontal grid is of course just as important. But there are plenty of those already. The vertical algorithm ensures you perfect balanced websites.

The core of the framework lays in the use of the so called Space-Units. With Space-Units, a virtual grid is created on which every element in the website is aligned on.

Vision

With the SpaceFramework I want to reach perfection in typography and layout alignments. This I want to do by closing the gap between what a front-end developer can do and what a designer wants them to do. The SpaceFramework is build with typographical rules in mind.

I don't want to give you pre-made components, since this only limits the designer. I'de rather focus on giving you the right tools so you can create own components and open your creativity.

Roadmap

• Horizontal alignment classes (v1.1)
• Horizontal grid system
• Horizontal column system

Documentation Roadmap

In this first version of the documentation we only explained how you can configurate the SpaceFramework.

• Applying the SpaceFramework on the documentation
• Showing and explaining the true power behind the SpaceFramework.
• Adding examples
