SCSS mixins I use in my daily SCSS projects. Contains a wide range of helpful mixins for various things, e.g., generates font-size in 'rem' with 'px' fallback; generates small bootstrap similar grids for individual parts; etc. Include all or your desired ones from the list to your next project. Note: I use Bourbon.io to all of my projects, so ma…
