styl_s

Styl_s is a starter theme for developers who prefer Stylus over Sass for CSS preprocessing. Built on the Underscores framework, it provides a minimal, unopinionated foundation for custom theme development. This project is aimed at developers comfortable with command-line tools and task runners who want a lightweight starting point without the overhead of a full framework.

Key features include:

• Stylus preprocessing: Replaces Sass with Stylus, offering a more flexible and concise syntax for writing stylesheets. All partials are imported into a single style.styl file for compilation.
• Jeet grid system: An optional, semantic grid system built with Stylus. It lets you use your own markup and classes, similar to Neat, without polluting your HTML with grid-specific classes.
• Basic Gulp workflow: Includes a gulpfile.js that compiles Stylus to CSS, adds vendor prefixes via Autoprefixer, and synchronizes file changes across devices for live reloading. Optionally, you can enable CSS minification by uncommenting a few lines.
• Underscores foundation: Inherits the clean, well-documented template structure of Underscores, making it easy to customize or extend. The theme follows standard WordPress coding practices and includes essential template files.
• Simple setup: Download or clone the repository, rename the directory, and optionally do a find-and-replace on 'styl_s' in template files. No complex configuration required.

This theme is ideal for developers who want to use Stylus in their WordPress projects without building everything from scratch. It is actively maintained on GitHub and welcomes contributions.
