TACHYONS EXTENDABLE

Extendable functional css for humans.

Quickly build and design new UI without writing css.

This is a fork of tachyons-custom which makes use of PostCSS placeholders. When used in conjunction with postcss-extend it is possible to take full advantage of Tachyons without bloating your markup with classnames. Since placeholders act as virtual classes, only those which are @extended will be included in the final output CSS.
