Within the download you'll find the following directories and files, logically grouping common assets. You'll see something like this:

We provide compiled CSS (photon.*). We also include the Entypo fonts and a template Electron application for you to quickly get started.

Documentation

Photon's documentation is built with Jekyll and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at http://photonkit.com. The docs may also be run locally.

Running documentation locally

From the root /photon directory, run jekyll serve in the command line.
Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser, and boom!

Development

Install node dependencies: npm install.

Modifying source Sass files? Open a second Terminal tab and run npm run build to kick off a build of the compiled photon.css.

Versioning

For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, Photon is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we'll adhere to these rules whenever possible.

Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major while resetting minor and patch
New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor while resetting the patch
Bug fixes and misc changes bumps only the patch
