4. Paste this in the code block @import url("https://linuz90.github.io/better-roam-research/src/css/main.css");

Editing this theme

To create this theme I'm using the SCSS syntax. This file is compiled into a regular CSS file used for the theme.

To edit the theme, install Ruby Sass (it's not maintained anymore, will use something else in the future).

Then compile the SASS using this command:

sass --sourcemap=none --no-cache --watch ./main.scss:./main.css
