They are also super sharp retina and you can change the size and colours without taking a extra hit on file weights. Also integrated with Sass.

- featherlight – Do you want popups on your site? This is the lightest library around and also responsive. Wide variety of options and easy to theme
- slick-carousel – Most sites have carousels in one form or another. Slick carousel is extremely light, responsive and considers accessibility.
- Sass – Keep your css organised, clean and small.
- Live-reload – Automatically reload your browser while you code. Sounds simple but saves so much time overall
- Javascript concat and minify/uglify – Grunt will concatenate your Javascript files and minify them to give the best performance and a low file size
- grunt-contrib-connect – A local web server instantly displaying the site you make as you develop
- Css minify/uglify – Grabs the css file and compresses it to get the best performance and a low file size
