Given that my thoughts while looking at the repo were "please don't be js, please don't be js, please don't be... fuck" (don't want to install the whole node toolchain), I'm very glad that a website exists. However, it seems to be down :(

Hah, what are the odds. I post this and 10 minutes later zeit.co's Now service goes down. :(

But the site is just informational--if you don't want to install the Node toolchain, you can use the GUI wrapper around themer (https://github.com/mjswensen/themer-gui), a cross platform app built on Electron. There are downloadable builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux (https://github.com/mjswensen/themer-gui/releases).

There's a great tool called Docker which allows you to not have to worry or care about a toolchain.

Yeah, for something infrequently-used like this it makes sense, but it doesn't work for frequently-used utilities. I wouldn't want to be running grep in Docker, for example. One of these days I'm going to have to look into setting that up, though, hopefully it won't be hard.
