A CSS grid constructor
A Sass-based CSS grid framework using inline-block and box-sizing instead of floats. It was a reasonable choice for 2013-era responsive layouts before flexbox and CSS Grid had real browser support.
The inline-block approach side-steps float clearing hacks entirely, and width/gutter are decoupled so you aren't fighting margin math on nested grids. RTL support and per-breakpoint rebuilds via `griddle-build()` are genuinely useful touches most grid systems of that era skipped. IE8 support plus the redundancy/consolidation in the compiled CSS shows real craft for the constraints of the time.
Dead since December 2015 and explicitly marked unmaintained — this predates flexbox and CSS Grid, both of which make the whole inline-block/whitespace-hack approach obsolete for new work. No test suite, no CI badge, nothing indicating the Sass actually gets exercised against output. Distribution is Bower-only with a zip/git fallback — no npm package, so it doesn't fit into any modern build pipeline without manual vendoring. Inline-block grids also carry the classic whitespace-between-elements bug, and the README doesn't mention how (or whether) it's handled.
