Hello, world!

Welcome to Origin, my starting point for front-end development. Origin is one part automated build tasks and one part baseline style guide for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

About this project

Like the Web itself this project is forever a work in progress. I’ve decided to make Origin public for those interested. Origin it not a final solution, framework, or boilerplate I expect others to use “as is”. From time to time it will include experimental and far from optimal build tasks. You may prefer a less bespoke workflow like Yeoman or a CSS framework like Inuit.css without my preferences.
