Gumby is a user-friendly CSS Grid framework with extended support of HTML5 and CSS3 goodies.
Gumby is meticulously documented and easy to grasp; in fact, it’s similar to numerous CSS frameworks — especially 960 grids — out there.
The framework ships together with some reusable elements that allow constructing prototypes rapidly; there is extensive support for mobile devices, too.
Renee is an innovative Ruby framework, based on Rack.
Renee features an impressive, hierarchy-based routing system along with a rendering engine inspired by Tilt.
The code is amazingly lean, and offers DRY-er code than Sinatra, while making some safe assumptions about the way your requests will be structured.
Singool.js is a lightweight framework for creating single-page apps.
Singool is built on top of Backbone, and requires Node.js as well.
Being MVC-based, Singool is rather easy to grasp; it uses LESS for CSS, for Bootstrap compatibility.
Although the framework doesn’t bring much new to the table, Singool manages to concatenate useful principles together to form a structurally fluid whole.
AppJS is a desktop application development framework.
AppJS is currently available only on Linux, but Mac and Windows ports are on the way.
The application’s core is Chromium, allowing you to use the newest and the most complex HTML5 APIs and functions available out there.
Overall, AppJS is an interesting solution at the very least, especially given that it uses Node.js as its backbone — fascinating for desktop app development, really.
Responsive Grid System is a grid system for intuitively developing responsive websites.
This grid framework comes in three versions, with 12, 16, and 24 columns.
It comes with media queries for standard devices, clearfix, and an optional reset.
This framework is rather easy to get into, and provides flexibility without sacrificing structural simplicity.
Moobile is a mobile framework powered by MooTools.
Moobile’s angle seems to be providing a feature-rich mobile framework with interface and mobile presets — not unlike jQuery for mobile.
It’s a well-timed solution for MooTools devs who might have looked onto other mobile frameworks as their framework lacked the mobile tools that have become crucial with the rise of mobile devices.
