Remove built-in css-fetching

[bartveneman]

The headless CSS fetching mechanism requires a whole lot of dependencies and install time. I think it should be separated so that it would would be two different steps, using get-css or someone just piping a local file into wallace-cli:

get-css https://www.projectwallace.com > wallace

Yes please.

Not to mention that puppeteer is a nightmare dependency to keep functional with all architectures, platforms, etc.

Need help with this one?

I'm adopting wallace-cli at my org as an experiment. I'd be willing to give this issue a shot, provided wallace works out for us.

Should be pretty straightforward, so feel free to pick up, but maybe I'll have some time this weekend to have a look.

@drewlustro I have a WIP branch that's very lightweight and fast, without Puppeteer that you could try out using npx https://github.com/projectwallace/wallace-cli\#v3 path/to/style.css

@bartveneman – Thanks mate.

I'm headed to Detroit for a music festival tonight, but will take a look next Thursday.

Does this work for anyone else? I just tried running and nothing happens:

I had to push some untested local changes because I got a new computer a while back, so its very well possible this branch is currently broken. I completely forgot about it.

Did you hit enter when it asked you to proceed though?

Yes, nothing happened - just returned me to the terminal.

I was able to build the v3 branch locally and use it that way, and it worked great - but obviously that's a temporary solution. Hopefully that PR can get merged at some point.
