This link in the readme.md https://speakerdeck.com/jina/style-guide-driven-ui-design-with-sass to the "Style Guide Driven Design" presentation results in a page with this message :


PRESENTATION NOT FOUND

We looked all over for it...
But the presentation you are looking for could not be found.
Maybe you'll like one of these other presentations by ₍˄ุ.͡˳̫.˄ุ₎ better.

Googling didn't bring up a/the new location, only a "Style Guide Driven Development" presentation from another person.

I'm not going to close this because the link is broken.

But, because this seems to be a Nix/Mac repo only, I'm not interested anymore. I'm looking to improve and speed up my workflow, not to add uncertainties. Too bad, because it looked like something excellent. :

While a Unix based system (Mac, Linux, etc…, basically not Windows) isn't required per se to run Style Prototypes, some of the advanced functionality available uses Unix commands.

@RobertinoValue I'm sorry you feel that way about this project. There are a handful of pieces of functionality that require nix style commands, but the core system has been tested and works across all three platforms, including Windows. If you are running this on a Windows machine with [a nix style console](http://snugug.github.io/Intro-Command-Line/#/windows), and you have all of your dependencies set up properly, everything except the --launch command should work. If not, I encourage you to file tickets against the project for functionality that is broken or to ask questions on Stack Overflow to get answers to general questions.

As for the link, I've reached out to the presenter and she is in the process of updating that presentation to a blog post, which will then replace that content.

@Snugug Don't know what happened to the second quote from this page : https://github.com/Team-Sass/Style-Prototypes/blob/master/Designer's%20QuickStart%20Guide.md#designers-quickstart-guide

..... however, Windows doesn't come with Ruby, so using the actual Style Sites may be a challenge (it's currently totally untested on Windows).

It does state "totally untested on Windows". Which to me equals uncertainties.

BTW, I know my way around Linux. Just check the Bitbucket repo linked from my profile. Also with Ruby. But Ruby on Windows is not a very popular/good combo. That's why I'm moving away from it. There is always something prohibitive. But let's just leave it as it is. The quest continues.

Those docs are old, I should update them. It's been tested (and works) on Windows, it's just a pain to set up as Windows dev environments aren't conducive to developing with open source technologies, especially multiple ones at the same time (such as is required for Style Prototypes).
