Simplifying the folder structure

Remember, CSS sucks and you want to do it as little as possible. Keep things simple, no more complex than an e-reader UI. variables/, base/ or vars/, html/ (or partials/?) This is a "no fluff" print-first system ... we only need a simple specimen file. ds/ (design-system), .gl-obal and #page is out of scope!

Folders

  • We definitely need a variables/ folder
  • I don't think modules is the right name
    • In programming, they're basically files with functions
    • I NEVER use functions in css anymore.
  • partials/ is the right idea, but don't think it needs to be called this
    • global/ or base/? I don't like them either.
  • GPS folders for .gl- files
  • page/ for #page and #section
    • Does it live with it's page template?

Could be variables/, raw/ (or html/), globals/, and page/ or pages/

Files

  • main.less and config.less are quite handy.
    • Do I just need one master file for both of these?
  • perhaps have a user-config.less file?
    • Or get them to copy it and add to .gitignore?
  • _root.less is twice, so perhaps we condense this file
    • Include the variables AND the base styles?

Questions

  1. Can I get rid of normalise now? A different one?
  2. Make some rules about what styles live in a specimen (raw html)
  3. Make some rules about slightly different .gl- elements
  4. Look over the GPS doc and make some basic rules.
  5. There's a lot of nuance, so it'll likely take a while
