I’ve posted a much better written, in-depth, Prepros 5 review, you can read here. The review below is for Prepros 4. Not long after writing it, I retired Prepros 4 for CodeKit 2/Grunt. It’s filled with typos, crimes against English and edits. Supported OS: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8. Most of the comparisons were to CodeKit 1.0, which wasn’t nearly as flexible as CodeKit 2.0, and before BrowserSync (for Grunt/Gulp). Today, you have your pick of precompiliers: SASS, LESS, Haml, Stylus, Jade, slim, CoffeeScript, Livescript Time for a story… Once upon a time, when you coded the front end of a website, you wrote your CSS and JS in their native format. I have a love/hate relationship with precompiling languages, I’m not always convinced I’m writing better CSS than if by hand but the management capabilities. (Edit: I lied, I love Sass, vanilla CSS is evil) They do amazing things, with a few simple for loops, I can easily generate an entire responsive grid but they lend themselves to nested tag hell, and encourage over redundant classes. However, this is not about my opinions on SASS. For the most part, I’m pro-SASS.Įveryone’s work flow is a little different. ![]() I tend to favor GUIs when they empower me more than the command line. Grunt JS does its job admirably from the CLI, which makes a utility like Prepros less a necessity than applications for Git management. These days my workflow is a combination of Sublime Text 3, Sketch, Photoshop/Illustrator, Tower, Kaleidoscope, Colorsnapper, GifBrewery, ImageOptim, Muir, and Prepros. I’m not afraid of the Terminal, and still use it do all my config apache setups for OS X but I have a fondness for GUIs, especially ones that make tasks much easier. Prepros is nearly the same level of awesome as Tower is for Git management. If you are installing Windows 10 on a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista, or if you need to create installation media to install Windows 10 on a different PC, see Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC section below. I spent much less time messing with terminal and more time coding, designing and developing. Prepros’s HTTP works even with local devices and devices on separate VPNs. Prepros isn’t the first Node JS-wrapper-alternative, that keeps you out of the command line. ![]() I tried CodeKit, and I wanted to love Codekit but it never quite fit into my workflow. Ironically while writing this review, Codekit matured to version 2.0, although I was unable to obtain it due to the vague “server error”.
