Less Framework 3

It was basically a fixed-width grid that adapted to a couple of then popular screen widths by shedding some of its columns. It also had matching typographic presets to go with it, built with a modular scale based on the golden ratio. The resources it was originally published with are still available on GitHub. Contrary to how most CSS frameworks work, Less Framework simply provided a set of code comments and visual templates, instead of having predefined classes to control the layout with. This is how I still work today and definitely a method I advocate. /* Default Layout: 992px. Less Framework was popular in the early days of responsive design. Eventually, I moved on from fixed-width grid systems and worked on a fully fluid-width one, in the form of Golden Grid System.

Correct. Do I need to install LESS.js or include it in my HTML? Nope. Does it support Growl? Yes. Why is it Intel only? Because the app uses Google's V8 javascript engine (the same one inside Chrome) to run Less.js. What if my LESS file has errors? You'll see the error message from the compiler in the app window (or growl note). Why do I have to add folders and not individual files? Get PHP Fat-Free Framework.
