Add SASS stylesheet

[fjaguero]

As plain CSS gets complex while adding more views, we should start using a pre-processor to have each view organized. By separating the CSS it will be easier to work as everything will be modularized.

Proposal

I can port/optimize the current CSS to SCSS and add a gulpfile that will handle the compilation. We can use node-sass to avoid the ruby version. The drawback is that not all the features are implemented but that won't be a problem in this case since it will be really straightforward.

Extra spicy

What do you think of using BEM-style for the classes. Why? This makes long-term readability and assures no spaghetti CSS. This is not a must but I recommend it.

I agree that we need gulp/grunt, because we will need more things in the future like minimization, packaging and even signing. No doubt.

About SASS, I don't know :) If you feel confident and @erick-bolinaga can help with this (the CSS is made by him, and I don't know if he knows SASS), let's do it.

About BEM-style, see above :)

Let's hear @erick-bolinaga opinion but in any case the use of SCSS will be mainly to take advantage of nesting. There's no need to "learn SASS" in this case.

@willyaranda I should probably email @erick-bolinaga, right?

[willyaranda]

Yeah, better 😀

@willyaranda I just added a gulpfile to the master branch by mistake (damn remotes!). I can rollback and make a PR anyway if needed.

[erick-bolinaga]

I don't know SASS or SCSS. Some of you could do it, if it is required.

[fjaguero]

The thing here is to organize the CSS by namespace, like .timeline-view .class, .dm-view .class, etc.

We won't be using any SASS feature, just nesting. I can do this and the you can review it.

[willyaranda]

@fjaguero sounds cool, please ask us for review once you have it!

[fjaguero]

Ok, working on in! 🚀

[fjaguero]

I will not be prioritizing this by now.
