Pattern Library. The MailChimp Pattern Library is a byproduct of our move to a responsive, nimble, and intuitive app.
Constant iteration requires both an efficient workflow and a well defined collection of atomic elements that can assemble new UIs quickly without accruing new technical or design debt. We’re also solving an internal communication problem by documenting and assembling a reference site of our patterns. A common lexicon of code and UI elements benefits us in a few ways: We can build consistently and focus on workflows and logic, not web forms and list items We can reuse code instead of roping in a developer We can maintain our code by seeing our patterns in one place, define elements in our application, and keep redundancy to a minimum We guard our pattern library jealously, and add new patterns only when the case for doing so is sound.

We’ve previously done a lot of work in Sencha Touch to make your UI resolution independent, and Src expands this to include your image assets. It’s easy to use, and in this guide, we run through the main API options for the service. Sencha.io Src is essentially a proxy that lies between image assets (hosted either on your own server or by a third party) and the browser or application requesting them via HTTP. The API is accessed entirely via placing a prefix before the original image URL. Let's start with a quick example. To use Sencha.io Src in its default mode, you simply prefix your absolute src attribute with Add that into the tag and your image will be magically resized for a smaller, mobile screen: In this particular case, the image is of landscape orientation, and so width becomes the constraining dimension.
Defined sizing. Foodsense. Initializr - Start an HTML5 Boilerplate project in 15 seconds! Golden Grid System. GGS was my next step after Less Framework.
Instead of a fixed-width grid, it used a fully fluid-width one, without even a maximum width. The resources it was published with are still available on GitHub. The idea was to take a 18-column grid, use the outermost columns as margins, and use the remaining 16 to lay elements out. On smaller screens the 16 columns could be folded into 8, 4 and 2. This behaviour was inspired by Massimo Vignelli's Unigrid system. While the grid's columns were fluid — proportional to the screen's width — the gutters (spaces between the columns) were proportional to the font-size being used.
