curly-weasel-moo

curly-weasel-moo is a toolkit to scaffold and build quick browser UI prototypes. It works with npm scripts – no gulp, no grunt.

It brings some handy defaults and packages which should make prototyping in the browser quicker and more fun, like jade, sass, surge, colors. (tbc: icons, ui elements, typography defaults...)
