Lemonade is a simple Ruby gem that adds automatic sprite generation to Sass.

Sass 3 Beta Released »

If you’re a web developer and haven’t given Sass a try yet, get into it ASAP. It a Ruby gem that abstracts CSS — it empowers the CSS with functions and variables, saves a ton of development time, and even makes it easier to be more consistent with your designs. Here’s a sample of a theme I’m working on which shows off some of the functionality.

Version 3 brings a new syntax to SASS, converting the language to a CSS superset, meaning it actually looks like CSS now (one of my biggest complaints of SASS 2). The new format is called SCSS (Sassy CSS) and is built off the CSS3 spec.

If you want to give it a shot, just install with:

gem install haml --pre
