Sass/Less Comparison

In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.

For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website. The ruby version may be different.

Variables

This gist describes a new feature we're experimenting with for Sass 3.2: placeholder selectors. They do not get generated into your output, but they can be used like a class and extended like one.

pandora’s vox: on community in cyberspace

pandora’s vox: on community in cyberspace

by humdog (1994)

when i went into cyberspace i went into it thinking that it was a place like any other place and that it would be a human interaction like any other human interaction. i was wrong when i thought that. it was a terrible mistake.

the very first understanding that i had that it was not a place like any place and that the interaction would be different was when people began to talk to me as though i were a man. when they wrote about me in the third person, they would say “he.” it interested me to have people think i was “he” instead of “she” and so at first i did not say anything. i grinned and let them think i was “he.” this went on for a little while and it was fun but after a while i was uncomfortable. finally i said unto them that i, humdog, was a woman and not a man. this surprised them. at that moment i realized that the dissolution of gender-category was something that was happening everywhere, and perhaps it was only just very obvious on the ne

Rainbow stripe mixin with SCSS + Compass

Rainbow stripe mixin with SCSS + Compass

I'm trying to make a horizontal rainbow stripe background gradient mixin, but I feel like this is way too verbose. How can it be better?

Goals:

  1. [check] Use variables for colors so they can be swapped out for different colors.
  2. [check] The widths are hard coded for 8 colors. Can it be done smarter where it adjusts to the number of colors you add? Or is that asking too much?
  3. [check] The colors are defined twice for the color starts and stops. Can this be done better?
  4. [see below] Right now I define the colors as variables at the top level, then pass them in the mixin. Should they instead be created inside the mixin and then colors are brought in as arguments? Or does that matter?

Pure SASS script for calculating contrast ratios of colors. MOVED TO: https://github.com/voxpelli/sass-color-helpers

Pure SASS-adaption of Lea Verou's contrast-ratio javascript. Can be useful when eg. generating colored buttons from a single supplied color as you can then check which out of a couple of text colors would give the best contrast.

This script currently lacks the support for alpha-transparency that Lea supports in her script though.

In addition to the color-contrast adaption there's also some math methods that were needed to be able to calculate the exponent of a number and especially so when the exponent is a decimal number. A 2.4 exponent is used to calculate the luminance of a color and calculating such a thing is not something that SASS supports out of the box and not something I found a good pure-SASS script for calculating and I much prefer pure-SASS over ruby extensions. The math methods might perhaps be unecessary though if you're running Compass or similar as they may provide compatible math methods themselves.

Normal usage: `color: pick_best_color(#f00

SassDoc

SassDoc allows to document Sass items: functions, mixins, variables, placeholders.
No CSS selectors.
It uses a similar system as JSDoc, based on comments and annotations.

You can choose between two types of comments.

Inline comments (3 slashes):
