Shards is a free and modern UI kit that comes packed with 2 pre-built pages and 11 extra custom components that you can use to kick off your next project.
The following instructions will help you get started with Shards.
Currently there are only two ways of downloading Shards:
The only hard dependency is Bootstrap 4 beta which needs to be included in your HTML document before Shards. Datepickers and slider controls also require the Shards JavaScript dependency.
In order to take advantage of both Bootstrap and Shards' features you may want to use the following starter template that includes all dependencies.
