Make Neat a dependency about bitters HOT 5 CLOSED

One option (which might be a bit crazy) is to have breakpoint variables defined in Neat with !default and also have them in Bitters's variables.scss.

This would make it easier to use Bitters independent of Neat.

Please don´t make Neat a dependency, because i and others would be able to use a sytem like Susy for their grids, instead of neat.

I agree with @jmar, I wouldn't connect Neat with any typography module. I think that the main strength of the whole thoughtbot's "package" is modularity.

@kylefiedler What did you have in mind with the typography, exactly? I do love to enlarge the global font-size via media-queries on the body tag:

body {
  font-size: $base-font-size;

  @include media($small-screen-up) {
    font-size: $base-font-size * 1.0625;
  }

  @include media($medium-screen-up) {
    font-size: $base-font-size * 1.1875;
  }

  @include media($large-screen-up) {
    font-size: $base-font-size * 1.375;
  }
}

However, I also worry about making a Neat dependency and forcing people to include it when they might want to use another grid framework.

If you have some specific ideas (or maybe mine above), they could be added to Refills’ type system components.

I could see having some basic media query variables added to bitters to let us do some more advanced typography, etc. This could be done right with using the same variable names some clever use of !default. I would definitely agree that one of the greatest strengths of the bourbon system is its modularity and it would be dangerous to remove that.
