Is it allowed to use SASS in a submitted theme for theme market place?

Hi! I’m planning to develop and sell themes in the marketplace. Will I run into any issues on submission/review process if I use SASS in development stage? I will compile it to CSS before submission. Does anyone have experience on this?

There are other themes in the marketplace that use sass, and tons that compile in some way.

As someone who edits and customizes a lot of other people’s themes, I hope you’ll distribute it with the sass files and ready to recompile after npm install. And if that’s not the case and you’re only shipping minified code, it’d be good to share that in the theme docs. Editing minified css is not fun.

Thanks for the confirmation, Cathy! For sure, we’ll be including the source codes for SASS in the theme package. I was just making sure before we start actual development so we can adjust our development process as needed. SASS has been an integral part of our development process, so it’s very convenient if this is allowed. :slightly_smiling_face:

To be 100% clear: I don’t work for Ghost.org. Just sharing what I’ve seen. If you have work riding on that answer, you may want to reach out to them directly.
