alexparkerBest preprocesses style language
December 07, 2018 14:24
One of the main reasons I use it is that it combines most of what I like but is spread across other preprocessors.
The option to make functions that take places of properties is amazing. ie.
border-radius: "child" $parent-radiuscan actually be calling a function likeborder-radius("child", $parent-radius)where usingborder-radius: 4pxwould just implement the standard expected result.Add in my favorite selector: `^[-1..-1] to get the last raw selector in a nested situation. (its like magic in combination with BEM naming syntax)

Absolutely fantastic, not only does it allow for modularity but it is armed with the most useful features like colour operations and nested styles to make you achive more by writing LESS.

Customise the UIkit Front-End Framework, because of that is used to create the application CSS. I prefer SASS but is equivalent.
