update brunch-config.js
rename web/static/css/app.css to web/static/css/app.scss
update web/static/css/app.scss

Just jotting some notes on delivering webfonts performantly…

still an incomplete draft.

	For a safe and fast Erlang SSL server, there's a few
	configuration values you might want by default:

	[{ciphers, CipherList}, % see below
	{honor_cipher_order, true}, % pick the server-defined order of ciphers
	{secure_renegotiate, true}, % prevent renegotiation hijacks
	{client_renegotiation, false}, % prevent clients DoSing w/ renegs
	{versions, ['tlsv1.2', 'tlsv1.1']}, % add tlsv1 if you must

	# You will need fswatch installed (available in homebrew and friends)
	# The command below will run tests and wait until fswatch writes something.
	# The --stale flag will only run stale entries, it requires Elixir v1.3.
	fswatch lib/ test/ \| mix test --stale --listen-on-stdin

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
	#
	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.

	# Once you're done here, go to
	# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
	# to learn SOOOO much more.
