Takana is a Sass/CSS live editor that shows SCSS and CSS style changes in the browser as you type them. It runs as a Node.js CLI server paired with a JavaScript snippet in your HTML, integrating with editors like Sublime Text.
Use cases
- see scss changes live in the browser as i type
- live edit css styles without refreshing the page
- hot reload sass stylesheets during development
- preview style changes instantly while editing in sublime text
- live css editor for frontend development
When to choose
- you develop with SCSS/CSS in Sublime Text on OSX or Linux and want instant style previews
- your project compiles Sass with libsass or node-sass
When to avoid
- you use a modern bundler with built-in hot module replacement (webpack, Vite)
- you need Windows support or editors other than Sublime Text
- you need an actively maintained tool - the last release was in 2017
