Supplanted by the CodeKit app on the very same site: http://incident57.com/codekit/

(and it also supports Sass, Compass, Haml, CoffeeScript)


CodeKit is fantastic.

My only complaint is that it only works locally, meaning there's no way to fit it into my workflow on projects that involve testing on remote servers. (Admittedly, watching for filesystem changes via SSH/FTP is non-trivial.)


Ooh, this looks interesting ... hang on ... "If you're still building websites without it, you're an idiot."

Well, fuck you too, and congratulations on losing a little bit of mindshare.


Agreed. I won't use this app, and also won't share it. I'll Stick to my command line like a lot of idiots that haven't got laid since 1994.


Half of the Less.app site is a joke. Just look at the reviews from Steve Jobs and Jony Ives.


Maybe. It's not obvious enough though, I think.


If it's not obvious, you're an idiot.

:)


I cannot say enough good things about CodeKit (which is basically a more intense version of LESS.app, from the same guy). It's improved my workflow considerably and saves the hassle of concatenating and minimizing server-side when I'm cranking out projects right and left.


From the FAQ:

I'm on Windows. What do you recommend I use to work with Less/Sass/CoffeeScript, etc?

A Mac.
