Refills is a collection of pre-built UI components and patterns written in Sass, built on the Bourbon and Neat frameworks. Users copy-paste snippets from the website or import them via Rails generators, customizing them with Sass variables.

Use cases

• find ready-made css ui components to copy into a project
• get accordion and tabs snippets built with bourbon and neat
• add prebuilt sass patterns to a ruby on rails app
• quickly scaffold frontend components without a full framework
• customize component look and feel with sass variables

When to choose

• you already use Bourbon 5+ and Neat 1.x and want drop-in snippets
• you want copy-paste components rather than a heavy framework dependency
• you maintain a legacy Rails app already using the Bourbon family

When to avoid

• starting a new project, since the project is no longer maintained
• you use Neat 2.0, which is incompatible
• you need maintained components, accessibility support, or vendor prefixes out of the box
