Cutestrap is a brand new CSS framework. This article presents Cutestrap’s features and puts the framework to the test by using it to build a simple one-page HTML template.
Like most successful web development boilerplates and frameworks, Cutestrap decreases development time and cuts down on repetitive tasks. According to the catchy definition on its documentation page, Cutestrap by Tyler Childs is “A sassy, opinionated CSS Framework. A tiny alternative to Bootstrap.” It is a nice starting point for quick prototyping of websites and apps.
For all its small file size, Cutestrap is not just a blank starter template with some basic reset styles. It comes bundled with a choice of typefaces, a color palette, and some definite views on how form fields and a few other elements should look.
On the other hand, Cutestrap is miles away from offering the huge number of features and components that full-blown frameworks like Bootstrap and Foundation bring to the table.
Super tiny – only 8kb of CSS code
Easy customization, even easier if you use Sass
Great CSS organization using the BEM methodology
Consistent vertical rhythm of typographic elements
KSS-generated documentation to facilitate turning Cutestrap documentation into your project’s living styleguide
You can change pretty much everything in Cutestrap either by using its Sass version or its compiled counterpart. In this regard, Cutestrap is not different from other popular CSS frameworks. If you prefer vanilla CSS, you can include cutestrap.css (or its minified version in production) directly in your project and then override Cutestrap CSS rules from your custom stylesheet document.
The order in which you write the @import statements is important. In fact, including custom-variables.scss before cutestrap.scss ensures that all Cutestrap variable values you override in your custom file will take effect in the compiled CSS output. Your custom Sass code goes below the @import statements.
Besides some smart default styles, Cutestrap offers a grid system, beautiful typography, common website components like buttons and form fields, and a few handy utility classes.
Cutestrap offers a super simple grid built using flexbox. If you use the grid without enclosing it inside the .wrapper container, your content will span the entire width of the screen, which may or may not be the result you’re after.
The grid itself only needs a container element with a class of .grid. Columns inside this element will be evenly distributed throughout the available space. No need to add classes for rows and columns.
Typographic elements in Cutestrap are sized using rem units based on a font-size of 62.5% on the root html element, which goes up to 78.125% for viewports larger than 960px. The baseline of 2.4rem results in a harmonious vertical rhythm, which enhances the appearance of content on the webpage.
Cutestrap offers styling for level 1 through to level 6 headings, as well as paragraph, blockquote, and table elements.
The default CSS font stack for headings and body copy includes the following typefaces: Avenir, Avenir Next, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Verdana. You can easily change this using regular CSS or Sass.
Cutestrap applies distinctive styles to button elements, submit/input elements, and link elements with a class of .btn. Cutestrap builds form fields using a unified markup structure and CSS styling, which give them a consistent appearance across browsers. Cutestrap offers a small number of handy utility classes to do things like aligning text, clearing floats, increasing or decreasing font-size, and more.
The full list of Cutestrap utility classes is available on the Cutestrap documentation page.

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces that has taken the web development world by storm. React is known for its blazing-fast performance and has spawned an ecosystem of thousands of related modules on NPM.
But with all this complexity, it can be hard to know where to start. So here are seven courses that will teach you everything you need to know.
In this course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Andrew Burgess will get you started building modern web apps with React and Redux. Starting from nothing, you'll use these two libraries to build a complete web application.
You'll start with the simplest possible architecture and slowly build up the app, feature by feature. You'll learn about basic concepts like tooling, reducers, and routing. You'll also learn about some more advanced techniques like smart and dumb components, pure components, and asynchronous actions.
By the end, you'll have created a complete flashcards app for learning by spaced repetition. Along the way, you'll get a chance to sharpen your ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) skills and learn the patterns and modules that work best with React and Redux!
In this course, Envato Tuts+ instructor David East will cover everything you need to know to get up to speed with React. You'll look at how React differs from other frameworks, before diving into some of the key concepts, applications, and best practices.
Get ready for a deep dive into React.js with Pavan Podila. In this course you'll build a complex app using libraries such as D3, React-Bootstrap, and FixedDataTable.
By the end, you will understand how to start your own React projects, organize your code using React components, and bundle your app code with Webpack. You'll also learn a professional dev workflow for React. You'll walk away with a stronger understanding of React components and their lifecycle by learning how to wrap existing third-party libraries within React components.
React Native, created by Facebook, lets you write native mobile apps in modern JavaScript. In this course, Markus Mühlberger will show you how to create a social application in React Native. You will learn how to build an app easily with a Firebase back-end. You'll also learn some more advanced topics like sophisticated view routing, camera and photo library access, as well as how to use the device's address book.
In this course, Andrew Burgess will show you how to use React to build a multi-user web application from start to finish. You'll also learn how to use Firebase, a cloud-hosted data back-end for web and mobile applications, to implement a very simple JSON-based data store for the course project: a live collaborative wiki.
There's a lot of talk about Flux these days. If you haven't had a chance to try it yet, you might wonder what you're missing! Flux is an architecture for React applications. It was developed by Facebook to complement the strengths of the React view framework. In this course with Andrew Burgess, you'll build a simple Twitter clone using the Flux architecture, with React powering the views.
React is a very popular library, so you can find courses all over the web that will teach you how to use its amazing features. However, sometimes testing isn't talked about. React's functional programming model actually makes it easy to unit test components.
In this course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Andrew Burgess will teach you how to unit test your React components. You'll see how to use Enzyme, the Airbnb unit-testing library, which builds on top of React's own testing functionality.
We've got a course geared specifically towards taking your React skills as far as possible. In this course, you will get you started building modern web apps with React and Redux. Starting from nothing, you'll use these two libraries to build a complete web application.
You'll start with the simplest possible architecture and slowly build up the app, feature by feature. You'll learn about basic concepts like tooling, reducers, and routing. You'll also learn about some more advanced techniques like smart and dumb components, pure components, and asynchronous actions. By the end, you'll have created a complete flashcards app for learning by spaced repetition.
