    Thanks Steve.

    @James Yah it’s pretty cool. I learned about it through Twitter Bootstrap. You can set variables through the PHP code too, so you could build an option page and have colors and such that the user picks get interpreted into the LESS.

    A UI, really? Groan … I see so many of these “development” plugins go this way…Pods, Types & Views—they add a UI, and it gets all bloated and complex to support non-developers. I hoped this plugin would just stay for real developers. 🙁

    There are *so many* resources for non-technical WP users to hack stuff together. I would love to have a plugin that was actually made *for developers* and the time and energy was devoted to those users, not to the masses of non-developers. The time you spend building drag and drop interfaces could be spend building out stuff that could really *speed up* the development process immensely–not just make it accessible to non-developers. And once you make a UI, then your audience changes. Then your focus changes.

    Are you going to store the info in the database like most UIs do? That makes it very unfriendly to revision control. Non-technical uses don’t even know what revision control is, so of course they don’t care. But real developers do.

    Please consider who you want your audience to be.
