@guille @visionmedia Any support for this? Wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't coming from the core team and you guys put a very clear link to it on the repo Readme and homepage.

Hopefully it would pick up because right now its hard to find a "stylus community". For instance I'm thinking of a better way to write stylus tests and would love feedback on an idea I'm hatching, but... there's no obvious place to get that.

This file will be split into a .css and .styl before compiling begins:


@start

#test
  padding _ 0

@should-equal

#test {
  padding-left : 0;
  padding-right: 0;
}

@end

etc....

This sounds like a great idea to me.

@guille @visionmedia If you're curious (or better have comments) checkout out my first spike at a working stylus testing 'workflow':

https://github.com/jasonkuhrt/better-clockhand-stylus/blob/master/test/ https://github.com/jasonkuhrt/better-clockhand-stylus/blob/master/test/four-up.styl

I plan to make the source-code powering this [1] much cleaner as I learn how and also formalize the testing syntax spec... Ultimately I want to release an npm styling-testing micro-"language" that any project can use.

+1 for a community/discussion board - even just a simple Google Group or something would suffice, just a place to discuss and debate techniques and share ideas. kplsthx :-)

I can think of a few options. Some are chat systems and some are discussion boards, so it's possible we would want one of each, but I think it's better to focus on one.

In my humble opinion, we should set up either Discord or Slack, and possibly supplement with the official StackOverflow tag. But really whatever the Stylus maintainers feel comfortable with, we just need to set it up and add references to the website and README. Let me know if I can help.

EDIT: The contribution guide already mentions the official Stackoverflow tag.
