Yelp’s Style Guide

I really like seeing companies build out their own style guide libraries. It's such a huge win in terms of maintaining css and keeping it consistent across an entire site/platform. We went through this process at Trulia about a year ago, and the results had a huge impact[1].

Sadly we never released our style guide to the public, but we did open source the tool for building it: https://github.com/trulia/hologram

It tries to keep things simple by letting you use markdown and html to document your css/js inline and then extracting that into a style guide.

I love that you called your gem "hologram". That's appropriate and... truly outrageous?

Haha, classic!

For those that didn't fully experience the 80's, "Jem and the Holograms" was a cartoon that took cheese and glam to a whole new level.

Here's the theme song, which will give you a good taste of that awesome 80's relic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6G_o1MYECg

Thanks for sharing this! Nicole Sullivan's talk about her work with Trulia was a huge inspiration for Yelp's styleguide. The performance improvements you reported are very impressive. Well done!
