from discord:

I've tried everything in that thread and the only thing that worked was to add a postcss.config.js file in the root of the project with this content:

module.exports = {
    plugins: {
    },
   }

strange that it worked even with no plugins defined inside it, but anyhow it works. I'm ready to explore the rest of it! Thank you a lot for your assistance!
