Aspirational Dropbox SCSS Principles

This is purposefully ambitious and aspirational. Some concepts that are worth understanding in addition to the principles outlined here include:

Here’s a CodePen I’ll periodically update with the compiled CSS to use as a testing playground.

Folder Structure

Please note

While this gist has been shared and followed for years, I regret not giving more background. It was originally a gist for the engineering org I was in, not a "general suggestion" for any React app.

Typically I avoid folders altogether. Heck, I even avoid new files. If I can build an app with one 2000 line file I will. New files and folders are a pain.

Stealing WiFi

/etc/hosts

This will let you access any google owned site. This includes: youtube, google cache, google translate, google search, gmail, google news, etc.

Install the HTTPS Everywhere extension
Add these rules to your /etc/hosts file
