Kickstarter is to help launch the infrastructure around it - the prototype at http://simpla.io is the frontend library, you can't save changes yet. We've built out most of the actual API (it's pretty minimal, clie

The API is intentionally transparent. The idea is that you're still writing in the CSS language (even if with non-spec features), rather than a DSL. So if you ever did want to rip Rucksack out and go back to-spec, you'd just run i

Yeah we're thinking of enabling users to pass through option blocks to the individual plugins (like how precss and cssnext does things), the problem is that not all features match 1:1 with plugins. Legacy Fallbacks, for instance, is a

Well on a personal level, I really love living in Australia (in melbourne btw), so I stay. But to answer the other points - in a straight comparison to SF yes it's expensive, but wages are also good so it tends to even out. Internet sp

To me this is a bit of a 'baby with the bathwater' scenario. CSS has problems (particularly lack of namespacing), but I don't think the solution is to just pack up shop on stylesheets and port everything to js. If the argumen

I try to do just 10-15min each morning, though more often than not I don't even achieve that. I think the act of just forcing yourself to sit still and not do anything puts a lot in perspective, and if it's just 10 minutes you can

Find people with the problem you're solving, and point them to your project. Quora is great for this. Obviously don't just look for the sell (or the star, in this case), but if people are asking about source control, git, etc. the

This would be awesome. One of my favourite articles of recent is http://bost.ocks.org/mike/algorithms/ which covers this kind of thing.

Another vote for ES6 - it covers the most important fixes from coffeescript and is the next standard, so you're not writing in a DSL (don't have to worry about it going out of fashion, wider talent-pool in the future, etc.). And w

https://gionkunz.github.io/chartist-js/ - Doesn't exactly follow material guidelines out-of-the-box, but super hackable and easy to theme, looks pretty decent by default, and probably the most straightforward js c
