Codekit is a web development program for the Mac platform, and if you’re a Mac web developer who hasn’t been using it, you’ve been missing out.
Codekit not only lets you compile LESS and Sass, two great CSS pre-processing languages it also lets you compile Coffee Script, Haml, Jade, and a few other pre-processors that I’ve never even used. It also allows you to minimize your pre-processed code. Input Sass, get back minimized CSS ready for your production site, it also lets you merge your different pre-processed scripts into one. If you have a Sass file for your fonts, layout, and reset you can combine them into one CSS file and have it minimized. Codekit also has an image optimizer built into it, with the click of a button I was able to shave 20-30% off the file size of my png’s. Its true that I could have gone to a site like tinypng.org but it is nice having it all together. Live reload, or having your browser update as you work is another great feature. No more refreshing the browser to see the changes you’ve made. Overall I have nothing really bad to say about Codekit. If I had to get nitpicky I would say that it was to bad its only for Mac, and that your Mac needs to be running the latest version of OSX. 10.7
