Nib is a library of mixins, utilities, and components for the Stylus CSS preprocessor, providing cross-browser CSS3 support including vendor prefixing and gradient generation. It integrates with Node.js via the Stylus JavaScript API and can generate gradient PNG fallbacks using node-canvas.

Use cases

• generate cross-browser css3 gradients in stylus
• add vendor prefixes automatically to css
• import css reset and normalize into stylus project
• use stylus mixins with express or connect middleware
• create png fallback images for css gradients

When to choose

• you use Stylus as your CSS preprocessor and want robust CSS3 mixins
• you need automatic vendor prefixing and gradient expansion in Stylus
• you want a CSS normalize/reset bundled with your preprocessor

When to avoid

• you use Sass, Less, or PostCSS instead of Stylus
• you target only modern browsers and rely on autoprefixer tooling
• you need an actively developed library with frequent updates
