Hi! I'm not a web developer, I work on server side, native mobile and desktop, but I'm very impressed with your framework and want to give it a try for creating UIs. What I really don't like about web development is it's overcomplicated approach to laying out the elements. Do you have any kind of layout helpers in your framework?

Thanks for the kind words achikin! Blueprint doesn't include anything to simplify layout. However, if you're able to only support relatively modern browsers, flexbox [0] is a great CSS feature that really makes layout easier. If you're looking for something like the traditional CSS library grid, you can always grab it from a different library, like PureCSS [1], and use it side by side with Blueprint.

Thank you very much for your help!
