Paint is a collection of LESS mixins and variables for quickly writing CSS. As the precursor to Bootstrap, it serves as a lightweight and interface agnostic approach to jumpstarting your next web project. Use it how you see fit.
Paint requires LESS. Head over to their documentation and familiarize yourself with the project. Once you're up and running, including and using Paint is a breeze.
- Create a new LESS file (e.g., application.less)
- Include Paint via
@import "paint.less"; - Start writing your own LESS-flavored CSS
We highly recommend using Paint in conjunction with Normalize, a powerful tool for more consistent rendering of web components across various browsers and devices.
