CSS/JS Minification

[jchannon]

How about the ability to minify specified JS/CSS files/folders?

Being a static site I don't believe there's any real benefit, once you've designed your site, you minify once and you're done. I think people should just minify themselves, there's heaps of sites they can do it on.

Just thought it would make a nice automation feature. Snow runs,
produces output and minifies. All you have to do is deploy

I think we should leave this for now. Maybe look at it for V2

I put this as milestone 2.

Don't start this until 1 is released.

If you look in my Snow folder, I have an image optimization library in there, we should couple that into the same scenario, basically allow people to create a batch file which can be executed and does image optimization, minification, bundling, etc.

Well... May I chime in? I think that this is a useful feature for many scenarios.. I could have many scripts and i don't want to run all of them through a site to minify.. The css can change from time to time because of new things i'm doing with my posts etc.. And it's easy to tackle that. :)

+1 for adding minification. Had been trying to get around to doing a PR with this.

I would want it disabled when the debug flag is set on the cli.

+1. I agree this would be quite useful.
