I'm surprised they are using copyrighted images from a movie as their background.

Good point. I will add credits for the images. Not sure if it's enough but it's a start.

That's not how copyright works.

You don't have a license for those images, so you can't use them. Period.

Fair use only applies under certain circumstances where using copyrighted materials is necessary (e.g. satire or discussion). Even if you don't use them commercially, you can't just use them like that.

I looked into this for my current project, but in my opinion you have to leave behind too many things if you do this instead of Sass. Namely:

-No mixins

-No maps

-No loops and conditionals

Maybe a couple of years ago, but now that libsass runs so fast I still don't see the point of using this.

I'm thinking about starting integrating this into my projects. However there is a couple of things that irritate me, - SASS is already serving all my needs - Current css frameworks are all on sass or less - Specs could change before CSS4 is released.

I will keep that in mind and will update the website asap to remove those.

So how about all these slideshow presentations we see online (or videos of presentations, etc.) that use clips from movies, TV shows, memes, and so on? Are the copyrighted materials really necessary in those? I'd argue they're as necessary to a presentation as they are to a website, yet you never hear people on HN comment that the copyrighted material is out of place in those settings.

I'd recommend getting a native English speaker to proof-read your text. 'More faster' was used repeatedly on the page and should be simply 'faster'. There were a few other typos, (e.g. 'A bug fixed will be released ASAP.') and very non-idiomatic sentence constructions. It might be a solid undercarriage, but now's the time to polish the hood. Also, I'd def. remove the movie screenshots. You could still use imagery tha…

Thanks for reporting that. I am french and the website is really fresh (pushed this morning). I will do my best to improve it and remove images.

I took a look at cssnext while going through the source for the 'Solved by Flexbox' website which was front page last week (https://github.com/philipwalton/solved-by-flexbox/). It looks like it does a lot of what sass does, except that it will actually be CSS soon. I suppose it's kind of like using an ES7-to-ES5 transpiler rather than using some other compile-to-JS language; it's a matter of preference, but the ES7 will eventually run without dependencies as well when the transpile step is no longer needed.

It'd be nice to see CSS frameworks rewritten using pure CSS (transpiled with cssnext); in fact I might give it a try if I get motivated :)

Nothing in the 4 criteria implies necessity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_under_United_...
