Roots - A Toolbox For Building Simple, Beautiful, And Efficient Products For The Web

Roots is a toolbox for building simple, beautiful, and efficient products for the web. Roots is a toolkit built on best practices for advanced front-end web development.

It has a very large number of features, which I’ll attempt to list below. Roots comes in the form of a static site build tool by default, but also includes templates and plugins for express.js and rails. Plugins for RailwayJS and Sinatra are also in the works.

Features

• Extremely simple installation.
• Clean and minimal default project template.
• Jade, Stylus, and CoffeeScript default stack.
• Super fast live reload implementation.
• Compile errors displayed as a flash message, doesn’t break workflow.
• Layouts and partials fully supported.
• CoffeeScript and markdown can be written directly in views.
• Extremely robust, modular, and powerful CSS helper library built in.
• Global variables and functions (view helpers).
• Clean and intuitive app settings file.
• Single command deploy to Heroku.
• Intelligently minifies HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on deploy.
• Efficient client-side js management through bower and Require.js.
• Easy to extend with a simple and well-documented plugin interface.
