What and why

Dojo is Kickserv’s internal CSS framework. It includes basic global styling for typography, small components like buttons and tabs, and our general guidelines for writing HTML and CSS.

Open-sourcing Dojo means sharing and learning with the community. There’s a lot we can improve upon in Dojo, and help is always appreciated. While we don’t currently plan on building this out as a competitor to other front-end frameworks, we will occasionally add, remove, or modify things.
