I have a develop where I can’t install anything (it’s a long story). I need to develop just with plain HTML / Browser JS and I want to use a CSS preprocessor. I like SCSS (SASS) but in order to use it I have to install ruby on my machine, execute it’s program and listen the filesystem…

Is there just a Browser JS file than I could include on my page and load unprocessed SCSS?

I’ve seen is-there-a-sass-js-something-like-less-js but answers are focused on production state:

  1. Why should you make all your users compile your stylesheets when you can do it once for all of them.
  2. What would your site look like if javascript is disabled.
  3. If you decide to change to a server-side implementation at a future time, all your templates must be changed accordingly.

But I think it’s a different question because I don’t want this to production server, I want this to develop with SCSS and when the page is done I can connect to a external machine, process the SCSS and upload it to the production server. But I can’t do this for every change I do while developing!!!

    I don’t think so. I’ve tried pretty much all the CSS preprocessors out there, and the only one I know that works in the browser is LESS.

    There are a couple of Win/Mac/Air/Node apps to pre-process different standards while on dev tho:
