# jekyons
Stop writing CSS and start building prototypes you dummies.

# huh?
## huh?
Jekyons is a starting point you can use to build Very Good prototypes with [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/) (a powerful static site generator) and [Tachyons](http://tachyons.io/) (a life-changing functional CSS library). A few friends asked to check out my prototyping stack so I cleaned it up a little bit and here we are. I've already fumbled around integrating cool stuff like [BrowserSync](https://www.browsersync.io/) (actual magic) and [18F's jekyll-get](https://github.com/18F/jekyll-get) plugin so you don't have to.

## why do I care?
GR8 question. Writing CSS is hard. Maintaining CSS across a team of developers and multiple projects is absolutely impossible. That makes prototyping, something that should feel natural in concept, a real bummer in practice. The power of Jekyll templating and the maintainability of Tachyons is the closest I've come to solving that problem.

Still don't get it? For example, take the list of features on the Jekyons website. Responsive columns, multiple repeating elements in each bucket, images; this could easily amount to over 50 lines of HTML and possibly even more CSS. With Jekyll & Tachyons, I was able to lay it out in ~20 minutes with less than 10 lines of code *total*. Check this shit out:
