I really like the simplicity of the 'How it works' section and I will probably steal the concept for explaining parts of our build to new employees.

This is pretty cool; we've put a lot of work into sendwithus to solve many of these same problems (inline css at send time, staging versions of templates, and multiple types of api keys).

Kudos for having a README that actually makes sense.

+1 for the simplicity of the workflow. I got it running within a few minutes.

Hm, wanted to try this out but the Ruby dependency is discouraging -.-

Isn't Ruby a dependency for Sass in general? Don't think that's a function of this grunt task.

Yep. It probably wouldn't be hard to modify this workflow to use Less or Stylus instead so that you don't need Ruby.

Using the premailer gem for inlining CSS. Agreed would be nice not to have that dependency. Played with other solutions but couldn't find one as good.

Are you open to pull requests? I forked this and added a couple of things that I'd be happy to contribute back to:

  -- Less support
  -- added a Gemfile to bundle install the ruby requirements
  -- added an npm preinstall task to run bundle install

I tested and it's working locally
