I prefer http://gopollgo.com/ It has a super clean UI and tons of real-time features that kick ass.

LessCSS also does this. However, LessCSS lacks the capability to do macro expansion which greatly limits its usefulness as framework implementation language.

As one of those framework people I can tell you that CSS as it stands is not up to that job yet. Some very basic features are needed on the CSS side, but I'm going to reserve my thoughts on that for a future blog post when I've thought abou

There's this: http://github.com/clr/sassijs/ But I've not tried it yet and it's not provided by the Sass team so YMMV. It probably doesn't support the most recent sass syntax.

The cascade is a good tool. it's the reason why elements look "right" by default when nested another element within the document. The application of multiple classes to an element has nothing to do with the "Cascade". Your classes should de

That code is not more maintainable. You've centralized a single color but now you've duplicated a selector. The single-rule output mode of Sass is an output optimization mode we plan to add to sass for runtime performance. You should write

Indeed it can. My bar is a little higher than "decent" though. The design of your site is arguably the most important piece since it's the only part that your users see. Having a domain specific language like Sass or LessCSS makes good sens

These are good points but they are a downside to the approach of code generation, not to abstraction itself. If Sass was interpreted by the browser it wouldn't be the case, so while it's true for the world we live in today, it's not a funda

If you don't "get sass", please take a couple minutes to read the article -- if you've never had to live the life of a front-end engineer, you have no idea how hard it is to do that job with the tool that is CSS. Balancing browser support,

Wow, that's awesome. Many people have it in their mind that sass and compass are more of a "new project" or "rewrite" kind of thing. Thanks for sharing your success with an existing project as a form of refactoring. That sounds like exactly

Absolutely. Sass is a CSS generator and while it might spark ideas for how a new in-browser stylesheet syntax would work, I don't think that it ever will be that syntax for one crucial reason: an in-browser syntax has full knowledge of the

Indeed. It's a consistently good blog. Many thanks to Reginald for his hard work on it.

I came here to say that. When I go back in my browser, I want it to show me the site I was looking at scrolled to where I was scrolled in the tab I was looking at.

Salary is important and in more ways than just having more money. Titles vary at different companies and have different meanings, so salary is the easiest way for a bigger company to place you into a title at that company. Once you're in th

I graduated from Caltech. The suicide rate there used to be worse, especially among incoming freshmen who, after being in the top 0.1% of their classes, suddenly find themselves normally distributed for the first time and getting not A+'s.

Haml uses odd number for unstable releases, even numbers for stable releases. 2.1 became 2.2 when it got released.

You're welcome! It's good to hear that windows is working better; send thanks to Joe Wasson who submitted the patch that fixed it.

There is a new attribute syntax that is more html-like. But, I'm not sure if the behavior you speak of has changed. That said, html attributes have no semantic order to them, so that change would be purely aesthetic.
