Ignis is a Sass library that I developed to create websites. Its main feature is a BEM system, though it also includes some other useful features:
Easing background gradients
Context stacks: A temporary data storage
Property trees: A persistent data storage
Responsive properties: A generalization of responsive typography
Modular scales
