Variables and conditional statements were widely requested by users since at least 2010. The consortium published a specification that included wording for variables back in 2012 ... but not widely implemented until 2018-19. Since the implementation, variables are not well understood and not well...
Have a total of six utilities now. Three to minify, and three to beautify. All unique builds written in PHP. Minify: Minify CSS preserves "attribution" comments - those are comments that start with /*! and end with */ typically these are destroyed by PHP minifiers because they look like...
There's a bunch of good things came out of this intensive review of CSS frameworks. The first four are PHP scripts for real time "beautifying" and "miniizing" of CSS (and also javascript) files.

I did do that, and solved the issue of different breakpoints. I wanted to further refine the conversion utility and do a full conversion, not just the...
As I get closer to finishing up this project, thoughts turned to converting my components and some of my projects over to my new CSS Framework. Still haven't named it yet. I did build a converter to change all the class names from Bulma CSS Framework. over to my new CSS Framework. Ran into a few...
Spending some time going over my CSS Framework code, in particular - the grid system. I found a small issue when it wrapped and the row conained an offset. I had forgotten to add a condition to remove the spacing on an offset ... more important, I had forgotten that an offset should be hidden in...
