Sass Libraries

Note: these will change as we migrate from ruby-sass to node-sass.

Sass

Sass is the most mature, stable, and powerful professional grade CSS extension language in the world.
Compass

Compass is an open-source CSS Authoring Framework.

Note that I use the vertical rhythm tools in Compass for vertical spacing.
Breakpoint

Breakpoint makes writing media queries in Sass super simple.
Susy A grid framework for Sass. Docs.

Note that I use the gutter, etc. math in Susy for horizontal spacing.

Javscript Libraries

Bigfoot.js

A jQuery plugin for empowering footnotes
eq.js

Lightweight JavaScript powered element queries

I am strongly considering dropping this library and rewriting all my element queries as window queries in Breakpoint. As it is, this libraries is only used in a few places and not well.
