Development of Prepros

Prepros was started as a small pet project while he was learning programming after +2. The sheer size of web has always fascinated him. He was a curious guy. So, he started learning web development. As days went by, he learned about Sass and LESS which are pre-processing languages. There were no tools to compile LESS/Sass on windows. So he decided to make a small tool for his own use.He started it and finally achieved success in his pursuit. It has multiple features like compiling various pre-processing languages, optimizing images. Later he put Prepros on the internet and then people also started using it.
