Wow! just WOW!
I am pretty much done all the code and creating index and template files. One last step: calculate the overall sizes for raw files, minimified files, and gzip equivalents.
I have everything organized into "classless" and "class-light".
Classless: 37.124Kb raw, 23.985Kb minified, and 8.641Kb gzip'd.
The entire package including class-light: 49.696Kb raw, 34.112Kb minified, and 11.105Kb gzip'd.
An entire framework. Around 11Kb gzip'd.
In raw format, it beat my expectations ... my target was under 100Kb, and it came in under 50Kb. By the way, that includes a new "normalizer" that is modified from "modern-normalizer".
I'll do a bit of stress testing ... I've been using this framework throughout the development cycle and it works nicely. I'm thrilled at how easy it is to use.
