- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Dark Mode
Dark mode is a user interface option that uses a dark color scheme instead of light. It reduces eye strain and improves visibility in low-light conditions. Implementing dark mode in a website or application involves updating the styles and color palette to support both light and dark modes.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
