Peroxide

Peroxide is a Drupal theme engine allowing templates to be created using Haml and stylesheets to be written using Sass and Scss.

Templates and styles for large sites can become quite long and complex. The goal of this project is to make more advanced tools available to developers so that the code for themes is shorter, easier to understand and more maintainable.

Peroxide automatically compiles and caches templates as PHP. Sass and Scss files are also automatically compiled, cached and their resultant output css is automatically added to a page.

Alongside of peroxide, a kickstarter theme is being developed to make getting started easier. It can be found at https://github.com/codeincarnate/peroxide_theme
