The CSS Redundancy Checker

Oh. My. God. This will very quickly become an invaluable tool!

It’s not perfect but it’s way better than a messy CSS file!

As a child I was interested in all things shiny, and as I grew up I became interested in all things ‘designy’. There are moments in my life where currency, and especially coinage, made an impression on me in different ways, though I’d never actually considered designing coinage until I became aware of the competition.
