A project I find rather interesting plus an accompanying plugin for us
Coda users.

That’s cool. It will be nice to really define some short-hand stuff rather than writing out long identifiers every now and then.

There’s now a standalone app that provides a nice GUI and a few
features to support the use of the LESS syntax for writing CSS that
works with the major editors. I helped the dev, Bryan Jones, with some
testing and such and I can tell you it’s a useful little tool. The
LESS project site is below.

Hi Todd
I also saw this a little while ago and wanted to have a go so I had a quick go at installing it.
Unfortunate I couldn’t get the command line to work correctly

  $ sudo gem install less

I just got this

 Macintosh:~ max$ sudo gem install less
 Updating metadata for 1 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org
 .
 complete
 ERROR:  could not find less locally or in a repository

with the obvious result that less didn’t work

did you have any problems with installing it
cheers for any info

Try this first:

sudo gem update --system

Your copy of gem might not have the latest gem sources. If gem is up to date, then try this:

gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
gem install gemcutter

The first command will add github to your list of sources, the second will install a gem that manages your connection to the gemcutter repository, which is replacing github, which sorta replaced rubyforge as the canonical source of gems.

Then you can try again to get the less gem.

In case you’re interested, Sass http://sass-lang.com/ is another
flavor; very similar to LESS. Seems popular with the Rails crowd. The
end result is essentially the same. Cool stuff.
