SimpLESS: Open-Source CSS Preprocessor

SimpLESS is a simple, open-source CSS preprocessor that allows you to write cleaner, more maintainable CSS code. It adds features like variables, mixins, and nested rules to regular CSS.

What is SimpLESS?

SimpLESS is an open-source CSS preprocessor that aims to provide the core functionality of other preprocessors like Sass or LESS in a simplified package. Some key features of SimpLESS include:

• Variables - Define common values like colors and spacing as variables to reuse them throughout stylesheets.
• Mixins - Write reusable groups of CSS rules that can be included anywhere.
• Nesting - Nest selectors within other selectors to write less repetitive code.
• Operators - Perform color and math operations right within stylesheets.
• Imports - Break Stylesheets into smaller partial files that can be imported.

SimpLESS focuses on providing an easy entry point into CSS preprocessors for web developers. By sticking to a simple but extensible syntax without excess features, it allows new users to be productive quickly. Experienced preprocessor users may still appreciate its minimalist approach. The core goals of SimpLESS are to facilitate cleaner, more maintainable code bases and faster development workflows.

As an open source project, SimpLESS is actively developed on GitHub by a community of contributors. Its MIT license allows free use for any purpose. Overall SimpLESS aims to be a good stepping stone into more advanced preprocessors and is ideal for small to medium complexity web projects.
