🌊 Week 2 — Pure Cascade now actually analyzes your CSS

This week, Pure Cascade stopped being a UI mockup and became a working tool.

🔧 What’s new

Built the core analyzer using PostCSS

Added metrics for:

total rules / selectors / declarations

unique selectors

property frequency

Implemented ZIP import — you can now drop a project archive right into the browser and get a real JSON report.

Connected everything: front → analyzer → report.

It’s still raw, but it already parses real CSS and shows meaningful data.

đź§© Why this matters

The hardest part isn’t building UI — it’s making the system actually understand CSS.
Now that the parsing and counting pipeline works, adding more logic (duplicates, conflicts, health score) is straightforward.

🚀 Next

detect duplicate selectors and conflicting declarations

compute a CSS “health score”

display it nicely in the Report page

Once that’s in, Pure Cascade will evolve from “parser” into a true CSS health monitor.

Small step, big unlock — now it’s analyzing real code.
