Meet TopCoat
summary
Claim: Topcoat is a CSS library aimed at fast, installed and web apps and it delivers by design. It uses Stylus, Grunt and GitHub-based component versioning, runs continuous chrome telemetry tests at bench.top.io performance graphs, and produces a build pipeline that outputs a themeable stylesheet plus a live style guide. The repo already contains componentized buttons, headers and icon fonts used in Reflow and Brackets and benchmarks trend toward the reset baseline.
