Blueprint (CSS framework)

Blueprint is a CSS framework designed to reduce development time and ensure cross-browser compatibility when working with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). It also serves as a foundation for many tools designed to make CSS development easier and more accessible to beginners. Blueprint is released under a modified version of the MIT License, making it free software. It can be either used as is, or further adapted for use via a compression tool that is written in Ruby.

History

Blueprint was first created by Olav Bjørkøy and released on August 3, 2007.[2] By August 11, Blueprint included work based on ideas from Jeff Croft, Nathan Borror, Christian Metts, and Eric Meyer.[3] Version 0.8 was released on November 11, and included various bugfixes as well as a new "tabs" plugin.[4]

Blueprint as a foundation for other projects

One of the goals stated by the core team is to facilitate the development of new tools for working with CSS.[5] A variety of CSS generators, visual editors, themes, and frameworks are based on Blueprint, many of which can be found on the Blueprint Wiki.[6]

gollark: The best you could do is some sort of web interface which you can access on your phone which lets you receive/send messages.
gollark: Some mobile carriers let you email certain addresses to send texts to people using them, but not *all*, and I don't think you could receive any.
gollark: I mean, you probably couldn't do SMS (texts) to real-world phones unless you paid for it with something or other, but yes.
gollark: Yes.
