CSS minification

[julianrubisch]

I was scrolling through the Lighthouse audit of my app when I noticed this:

Though it's not a ton, it's easily fixed by just adding --minify here: https://github.com/bullet-train-co/bullet_train/blob/main/package.json#L39-L40

I wonder if it's worth upstreaming this to the starter repo? "pretty printing" the CSS in the browser's devtools still makes it easily inspectable.

Or we could add an environment variable, e.g. MINIFY_CSS to switch it on/off?

Oh, that's interesting. I do think we should figure out how to get --minify to be the default for production. Or maybe make it always the default and use an ENV var to skip minification? SKIP_MINIFY_CSS or something?

Yep. ~~Though to be honest, it seems the bulk of minification could be earned on the theme. ~~

Disregard, I misremembered that. I'll investigate
