What were you trying to make work that you couldn't figure out?
- andrei_says_ 9y ago1. SCSS preprocessor followed by PostCSS-based autoprefixer, sourcemaps in dev and CSS minifyer when building. 2. CoffeeScript2 with support for modules, with uglifyer/minifier on build. Both 1. and 2. as a part of a middlemanapp dev/build process, which means the JS process watches and builds a file tree, and the SCSS process does the same. Even setting up ES6 had issues on build because some incompatibilities of the uglifyjs iirc. EDIT: Added clarification.
- zackify 9y agoScss is so annoying and if you ask me, slows builds down a ton in development. Also, that uglify stuff is annoying! Thankfully they are adding es6 support but most guides are outdated.... I feel you...
- andrei_says_ 9y agoYes, things That should “just work”, don’t. At all. For reasons that require expertise to uncover and even deeper expertise to solve. With solutions that may cause issues later. Talk about shaving the yak.
