CSSnano - Hackdot

CSS is a high level language used very often as a low level one. The styling doesn't use any "cascading" and everything is repeated all the time. In this context minifying can make a difference. But either way it is not among my favorites.

Does minifying make any difference if you're gzip-ing it in-flight anyway?

Edit: I mean, in the real world. Obviously in their example gzip does pretty much nothing since there's so little content, which leave very little room for compression.

Recently tested compressing picocss, one version was 80k or something. gzipd to 16k, +min, 13k. Brotli 13k, +min 10k.

So maybe another thirty percent, probably from removing comments etc, not just whitespace.
