Opened an issue to Mastodon Bird UI: Major rewrite: migrate to SCSS + Parcel for Mastodon's new CSS custom properties system https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/issues/172
I don't have time to work on this for a while, but I already have a plan.

@rolle Good planning overall. Hopefully new structure will make things a lot more manageable in the future.
@rolle Yes, SCSS features are mostly implemented in CSS, I do not use the preprocessor for a while.
@iamdtms The only issue is modularity. As far as I know, you can't output a single CSS-only file with includes or imports.
I've been using SCSS daily in other projects since 2012, but for Mastodon Bird UI, I wanted to keep it CSS-only for as long as possible since it serves the regular non-technical admins via the Custom CSS option. However, it's getting too chaotic to maintain this way now.
@rolle Yes, handling multiple layers now would be overdrive.
