Animate.css vs Sass: What are the differences?
What is Animate.css ? A library of CSS animations. It is a bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects. Great for emphasis, home pages, sliders, and general just-add-water-awesomeness.
What is Sass? Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets. Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.
Animate.css and Sass can be categorized as "CSS Pre-processors / Extensions" tools.
Animate.css and Sass are both open source tools. Animate.css with 61.2K GitHub stars and 13K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Sass with 12K GitHub stars and 1.93K GitHub forks.
Originally, I was going to start using Sass with Parcel, but then I learned about Stylus, which looked interesting because it can get the property values of something directly instead of through variables, and PostCSS, which looked interesting because you can customize your Pre/Post-processing. Which tool would you recommend?
