🍞 A highly-customizable, responsive (S)CSS grid
Toast is a Sass grid system that compiles to a single CSS file. You configure column counts, gutter widths, and class names via SCSS variables, then it generates all the fraction-based column classes. Last touched in 2018, so this is effectively a historical artifact.
The variable-driven approach to column group generation is clean — `$toast-col-groups(3,6,8)` generating three independent grid subdivisions in one shot is genuinely useful. The output is a single flat CSS file with no JavaScript dependency. The BEM-style class naming convention is configurable, which matters if you're integrating into an existing codebase with naming conflicts.
Abandoned six years ago — no maintenance, no issues addressed, no CSS Grid or Container Queries support. Two hardcoded breakpoints (`medium` and `small`) with no way to add more without forking the SCSS. Using float-based layout in 2024 is a red flag; CSS Grid and Flexbox handle every use case here with less generated CSS and actual browser support for gaps. The README author notes you'd be 'insane to use' it, which is the most accurate thing on the page.
