Sass

[AlexArchive]

At the moment the code is somewhat difficult to maintain. I think we could alleviate that pain by using

• Sass; and maybe,
• Bem.

Limitations

• Sass increases the barrier to entry.
• Sass can be difficult infuriating to compile owing to poor tooling in my experience, at least 😠.

Return on investment

I don't think there's much point applying these changes unless you intend to introduce additional pages 😛.

Thoughts?

If we use scss format then that is compatible with CSS. we can convert, get it working in the jekyll build process (I think github uses jekyll 3 which has sass support)

Then we can refactor over time as we touch pages and introduce the blog etc

I'm not a fan of bem. Maybe I just don't get the point, but it seems convoluteed and to push you to create gross class names lol.

I like Jake's idea re: scss and jekyll support ootb.
