Working on this front-end framework, looking for suggestions or feedback

Some feedback:

1. Having to wrap each column into a `div.block` AND then inside a `div.inner` is too verbose. Are you sure you can't find a simpler solution for your grid system?

2 Reading the about page and the documentation, I don't see why/how this is different from the Bootstrap and Foundation, so why I should switch from robust framework to yours.

3. Overall it looks nice, good work :)

You don't have to wrap it into inner it's just my own example, gonna update the dox soon with better dox and examples. That's why I'm asking some feedback. Thanks for the feedback. :)

Also the Idea is to first create a framework and then create a ( framework ) drag and drop layout builder on top of it with some nice examples where user can chose from examples and customize it, for easy yet nice looking prototyping. I like bootstrap but to me it's too similar looking on almost every website that is using it.

nice work, i like it! but... drag and drop layout builder on top of it (bootstrap) do exist alot.

Now you could customize your bootstrap theme :)

Do you plan on utilizing your GitHub project (https://github.com/uloga/decorator) to accept issues and pull requests soon?

Soon, I'm working on finishing the framework first, I can only work in weekends.

I think you mean "striped" (referring to tables) and "divider" (referring to the navbar). Definitely needs some spell checking.

On a similar note, I think your class names need some work. I find them unintuitive at times.

Thanks for the feedback, fixed that typo. I'm gonna work on class name improvements, definitely great feedback. :)

Good on you for working to create your own framework. You'll learn a ton. I tried to look in a mobile safari and it did not look great. Frameworks need to be mobile compliant in today's web world.

It's gonna be responsive, still working on it, now I'm just looking for some feedback so that I can improve it before final release.

here are few responsive template examples made with it:

Admittedly haven't looked at in too great detail, but what separates this from Foundation or Bootstrap? It seems pretty similar on the surface, but without the large communities around the other frameworks.

Would be nice if your examples prevented default on click, found myself at the top of the page a whole lot by being too curious. :)

Sorry for that and thanks for the useful feedback, still working on it, gonna take 2 weeks off to finish it...

I'm testing the FW first by creating some layouts.
