Response JS: mobile-first progressive enhancement in HTML5.
Response's most powerful feature is breakpoint sets. Using the sets, content for more-capable devices and/or larger viewports can be stored in HTML5 data attributes. Designers can create custom sets to make exactly the functionality that they want. (None are setup by default.)

Designers can use the default breakpoints (ideal for 960 grids) or specify custom breakpoints.
