Sass is a powerful CSS preprocessor that extends the capabilities of standard CSS. It allows you to use features like variables, nesting, mixins, and functions to write more organized, reusable, and maintainable stylesheets. Sass code is then compiled into standard CSS, making it compatible with all browsers. A popular choice for developers, Sass streamlines CSS development, promoting efficiency and code consistency across projects.
Sass releases varied significantly between June 2017 and August 2025. Periods of intense activity (e.g., June 2018, September 2021, October 2024) contrast with months with no releases. The number of versions released per month peaked at 9 in September 2018 & September 2021 and declined to 2 in August 2025 after some months of zero releases.
Sass npm package downloads show a generally upward trend from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking in July 2025. There was a significant increase in downloads in the first half of 2025. September 2025 downloads are incomplete and notably lower.
