Seems interesting. What are the usecases for it?

Use case: most of your startup's buttons and other bits of art are designed using modern CSS and then rendered and spirited to work in all browsers. Additionally, you find it very convenient to define many related items in one HTML file with a live preview window open.

This turns the [ tweak CSS -> go to page -> take a screenshot -> drag it to Photoshop -> carefully extract and save rectangles ] process into `make`

Cool. It would be great to see it in action.
