Any plans for maintenance? #325

Closed jamesplease closed 8 years ago

I see there hasn't been much work this year, and there are many open issues. Is there plan to support the project going forward? If not, it might make sense to add a note to the README so that folks know what they're getting into.

I think this is because of PostCSS. It just replaces a lot of mixins of nib.

Makes sense, @seleckis . I never tried that out since nib had me covered. But lately it's just been disappointing me with these bugs I'm running into. Time to switch, I suppose! ✌️

I plan to continue supporting this because I use it in several of my projects, I just haven't had much time to work on it... Though I'm happy to take PRs if there's anything you'd like to add!

@slang800 so, what do you think about to remove old mixins which could be replaced by PostCSS Autoprefixer (which is mush more popular now) and make an accent on other useful mixins?

notslang commented 8 years ago

I'm not sure about PostCSS (haven't used it enough), but I'd definitely like to handle vendor prefixing with Autoprefixer (see: #223)

seleckis commented 8 years ago

Autoprefixer is now provided as a plugin of PostCSS. So you don't need to use it as a part of nib, but just configure PostCSS in your builder (gulp/grunt etc.) to parse your CSS with that plugin.

Or use autoprefixer-stylus plugin if you use stylus native command: 

$ stylus < test.styl --use ../node_modules/autoprefixer-stylus --with "{ browsers: ['ie 7', 'ie 8'] }"

this is from documentation: http://stylus-lang.com/docs/executable.html

So there is no need to generate prefixes by nib. I suggest to remove this part.
