Neat is a lightweight, fluid grid framework written in Sass, part of the Bourbon family, providing mixins for float-based column layouts. It is explicitly no longer maintained, with the authors recommending native CSS Grid and Flexbox instead.
Use cases
- build a fluid multi-column grid layout in Sass
- define custom grids with configurable columns and gutters
- create responsive layouts with grid-media breakpoints
- maintain a legacy Rails app using Bourbon Neat
- install a Sass grid library via npm or RubyGems
When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing codebase that already depends on Neat or Bourbon
- you must support very old browsers where float-based grids are required
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use native CSS Grid or Flexbox instead
- you need an actively maintained grid solution
- you want modern CSS features like subgrid or container queries
