scienceai/cssnow: Sort of like cssnext used to be
▻https://github.com/scienceai/cssnow
A CSS pre-processor, really simple to set up, sort of like cssnext used to be.
Back when we were young, cssnext used to be pretty simple: you installed it, you ran it, it worked. Nowadays, cssnext has evolved to build atop PostCSS, with lots of configuration coming with.
I have nothing against that move. It’s a lot more powerful and flexible, and overall I think it is absolutely the right thing to do. But we have lots of repos, and they all need a default that’s pretty much what cssnext used to be. So what cssnow does is pretty much that: use cssnext and PostCSS with a default setup that matches what we need. It’s a whole lot fewer direct dependencies to worry about, and a way to centralise options we like (such as being safe out of the box when minifying).
This is for you if you like these defaults and don’t want to think too much about your CSS pre-processing; if you prefer the flexibility and power stick to the full PostCSS stack!
