It's rare that I feel any particular emotion towards project names, but the name and description behind this one is inspired.

Except that by using redundancy in the name and description, they give the impression that their redundancy-removal skills are lacking.

Maybe the project should be named "cs"? :)

Here is something I came across at PyCon. This technique uses genetic algorithm to minimize the CSS. The author claims 10% improvement over the standard CSS minimizer.

The author also haves one of the best bios in twitter:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I prefer Select2 over Chosen http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/

The problem with Select2 is that users are now _required_ to have js on to just use a silly dropdown. Chosen actually degrades gracefully.

Yeah, and they lie in their first example. The "example code" is nothing like their real demo code. If it was, you'd be able to use their select boxes if you had JS disabled...

This could be an interesting companion to Helium. Helium-css can be used on live sites to find unused CSS. Combine with this project to remove duplicates too. https://github.com/geuis/helium-css

I'll echo the sibling commenter. We're in the process of rolling out a new site layout at $work and I suspect there is a LOT of leftover CSS rules which I can get rid of. Thanks very much for the link!
