demonstrate the awesome fluid typography using css vars, but with the whole toolchain for solid cross-browser support about snuggsi HOT 5 CLOSED

@brandondees found postcss-custom-properties Seems to have a { preserve: true } option that yields the following:

This seems to satisfy your constraints. However, there is one caveat. Does not work well with media queries. Could be a deal breaker. if this doesn't work then I would have to say we'd need to contribute to the plugin library or build our own from a fork.

Please advise so we can update this issue.

I'll take it for a spin when I get a chance and let you know how it plays out.

@brandondees i'm currently at this phase at a current project. Have just read some stuff on using brotli for css as well. Looks like a good move. There is much in my bubletape project that answers these questions. I'll do some investigating.

yeah brotli pre-compression should work on any static files, and the on-the-fly compression should probably work for anything else.

thanks for finding that, @snuggs that project shipped a while back with some weird compromises in place to account for it but with some sensible defaults at the base level I and caution, I think it can work out nicely. what we wound up doing to patch IE is to media query on some ms-specific feature and then just override any rules there as needed, and I think a lot of the custom props may have wound up being replaced with scss vars there too, which kinda works the same as this, just messier.
