LibSass maintainer here -- it's really great to see another project pick it up, and although we're aware that we still have a fair bit of catching up to do, things like this give us all the more incentive!

Thanks for all your work on LibSass!

Is this different than say grunt-watch with livereload.js?

In my experience, real-time CSS feedback is night-and-day from auto-reload feedback. Ever since first trying MacRabbit CSSEdit (now part of Espresso) a few years ago, I've steered clear of preprocessors simply because I can work way more efficiently writing pure CSS in real time than with all of SASS's features and having to save every time I want to see a change.

Real-time CSS and SASS looks like a game changer.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. However, this is much better, as it reloads without saving, it also doesn't have to wait that split second for a change notification from the FS. It's a VASTLY superior editing experience.

Yes. It updates per keystroke rather than per save. We've found that makes it perfect for sketching in code and tweaking a design.

Awesome.. Id like to try is but it doesn't do compass?

This is awesome and I plan on using it. The only issue/feature is that it's using libsass, it definitely has some catching up to do to compete with Ruby's version's features but damn it's fast.

Wow, this is really amazing! It makes editing scss in sublime feel like modifying css from the in browser dev tools. Very well done!

Is only for OSX or is just tested in it?
