Is Gorko still being developed?

[peacememories]

Hi, and thank you for creating Gorko and so many other useful tools and writings to help us with our design. I've recently stumbled upon your talks about CubeCSS while coming down from a Tailwind high, and in those talks you've been using Gorko.

I think this tool would fit our project quite well, but I've noticed that it hasn't received any commits in quite a while, and there are a few unanswered issues and pull requests.

Now this might be for many valid reasons.

• Maybe you want to make changes but you're busy with other projects or - you know - paid work.

  In this case we would love to help out if that's possible.

• Maybe you are actively using the tool but consider it fine as is and don't want to make any changes.

  In this case it would be lovely if you could comment on the PRs and issues (and maybe close them?) though, again, I'm not here to tell you what to do

• Maybe you switched to different tooling and consider Gorko deprecated

  In this case I would love to know what tooling you switched to and how it's working for you, maybe we can adopt that as well.

I don't think every tool should have constant commits, especially if it's working fine, but when proposing Gorko for our project I do want to make sure that if something breaks down the line and we submit an issue or PR the answer is not "wait, you're still using this?!" :sweat_smile:

Thanks for your time :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey there! I'm afraid no, I'm not working on this anymore and haven't for quite some time.

Mainly because I've not used Sass for quite a while now.

The tool is very stable tho, so I'd say it is safe to use, but I completely understand your concerns too :)

@Andy-set-studio what are you are using when you do not use Sass? Vanilla CSS Nesting? Or do you mean you are simply not using Sass but still SCSS?

@peacememories You could have a look at buildexcellentwebsit.es/ (here the code: In https://glitch.com/edit/#!/build-excellent-websites?path=src%2Fdesign-tokens%2Fviewports.json%3A1%3A0 ) where Adam uses Tailwind instead of Gorko.

@rintisch Yeh vanilla CSS with a bit of PostCSS to smoosh files together. I haven't used nesting for years tbh because it was a route to things getting unwieldy and hard for new contributors.

I found this tool when I started experimenting with CUBE CSS. Here is the tutorial I am following: https://piccalil.li/blog/build-a-dashboard-with-cube-css

However I am trying to migrate away from @import in favour of @use.

But with Gorko it doesn't seem to work. Do you have any ideas how can I make it work? Here is the code that works:

// First up: config
@use 'config' as *;

// Next: pull in gorko for design tokens
@import '../../../node_modules/gorko/gorko.scss';

But when I try to swap the second @import to @use it gives errors when compiling (undefinex mixins, etc).
