Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

CLI for transpiling, transforming, bundling and minimizing CSS. Built for performance (in Rust). Can help with using current CSS features even with older browsers by using vendor prefixes and conversion to older syntax based on desired browser targets. Works with Parcel, Deno, webpack & vite. Can also be used as a library in JS or Rust.
