- Want to write unit tests but lazy? A full, hooked up test suite is waiting for you.
- Javascript profiling…in IE6 and IE7? Sure, no problem.
- Console.log nerfing so you won’t break anyone by mistake.
- Never go wrong with your doctype or markup!
- An optimal print stylesheet, performance optimized
- iOS, Android, Opera Mobile-adaptable markup and CSS skeleton.
- IE6 pngfix baked in.
- .clearfix, .visuallyhidden classes to style things wisely and accessibly.
