Middleman Boilerplate

About

This is a Middleman project template using gulp, PostCSS, and Tailwind CSS with Middleman's external_pipeline feature. This template is based on the Default Middleman Project Template, but it's built to support my workflow and preferred tooling.

Additional tooling

• Middleman-Livereload for LiveReload support
• gulp for automating build tasks
• PostCSS

  • cssnext for the latest CSS syntax support
  • cssnano for CSS compression
• Tailwind CSS
