Thank you for the proposal, Konrad!

I need some time to make akka-http-extensions usable (I have to fix some 
bugs and implement some features) before I will be ready to make a PR in 
community projects section.

Yes, live reloading of pages will be useful. I hope that sbt Revolver will 
be able to do it well in Future.

Corresponding sbt-web plugins can solve this problem=) I also think that 
ScalaCSS is better than scss/less.

In terms of website development I think that akka-http is more for advanced 
scala users who like to tweak things, while Play is better for those who 
want to get things done asap.
