SassConf is right around the corner, and Claudina has been working hard to make it happen!
SassConf starts tomorrow at the Scholastic Auditorium in New York! We’re damn proud to be sponsoring such a great event, and even more proud this year to have one of the organizers on our team.
But who cares about pride, I have a flight to catch! See you all in SoHo!

Are we responding to the right inputs?
For many years, it has been ‘best practice’ to use relative units (especially em and rem) for sizing text. That’s great! But after playing around with my user preferences, I think we can improve on the common approaches.
