Sass Libraries

Note: these will change as we migrate from ruby-sass to node-sass.

• Sass

  Sass is the most mature, stable, and powerful professional grade CSS extension language in the world.

• Compass

  Compass is an open-source CSS Authoring Framework.

  Note that I use the vertical rhythm tools in Compass for vertical spacing.

• Breakpoint

  Breakpoint makes writing media queries in Sass super simple.

• Susy A grid framework for Sass. Docs.

  Note that I use the gutter, etc. math in Susy for horizontal spacing.

Javscript Libraries

• Bigfoot.js

  A jQuery plugin for empowering footnotes

• eq.js

  Lightweight JavaScript powered element queries

  I am strongly considering dropping this library and rewriting all my element queries as window queries in Breakpoint. As it is, this libraries is only used in a few places and not well.
