Issue #117 (Frameworks, Media, Static Site Generators)10/15/15
The introductory tutorials will be on hiatus for a couple of weeks but you'll find a cool list of tools below, as usual. I will be speaking at CSS Dev Conf 2015, so be sure to come say hi if you're there.
In the meantime, check out the Web Tools Weekly archives for past tips/tutorials or buy the first 70 JavaScript/DOM tips/tutorials bundled in an e-book (includes EPUB, PDF, and MOB formats).
Now on to this week's tools!
Front-end Frameworks
Neutron
"A Sass framework that empowers you to create flexible, clear, and semantic website layouts."
FOX CSS
"A Light CSS Framework. 50% resets, 50% micro-framework, 100% awesome."
Mimic
"Mimic isn't a framework, it's inline-CSS, class-fied."
Formstone
"Not a framework. Just a collection of thoughtfully crafted front-end components."
Office UI Fabric
"Fabric is a responsive, mobile-first, front-end framework, designed to make it quick and simple for you to create web experiences using the Office Design Language."
Juiced
A Flexbox CSS Framework. Juiced has many of the same layout features that you know and love, but improves upon them with better mobile targeting, custom column ordering, etc.
Froala
"A modern design framework that comes with HTML5 and CSS3 design blocks ready to be combined together to create responsive websites."
Multimedia Tools
Captionify
Semantic image caption generator library. Captionify will caption all images contained in the body tag. It will use images' alt attribute as caption text and wrap the image with a figure and add figcaption.

Screenshot Machine
Fast and reliable, full page screenshot service with a developer API.
