Slightly OT: Is it just me or is Bootstrap a bit of an overkill nowadays? I know you can import what you need and keep the lib size small but the overall framework feels aged and many feature are no rocket-science anymore. Still some features are handy but again, is it worth it?<p>Without any customization you have this typical thousands times seen Bootstrap look. Only few of the available Bootstrap themes have an original and from Bootstrap outstanding look but then you add even more bloat to your site figuring out what CSS you could leave out. You could also customize yourself but again why not quickly do the stuff without Bootstrap? FE development got quite far these days and today's CSS and JS is not your daddy's HTML anymore, Flexbox is great and there're tons of specialized and modular libs.<p>Besides, Sass and Less were never my favorites but this would be a minor pick. They are ok to get along.<p>Last but not least they claim to be mobile-first which is IMO far off and the biggest deal breaker. Just open the Bootstrap page on a newer iPhone (eg 6) and open the menu. There's some significant lag until the menu opens and then the menu-open animation sluggishly stutters running at very low framerate. This could have be done with native CSS and hardware-accelerated 3d-transforms in a responsive and butter-smooth manner with a just few lines. Just having a responsive grid-system doesn't make Bootstrap mobile-first.<p>I believe that Bootstrap could be good for non consumer facing sites where the audience is less demanding. Eg you need to build an internal reporting dashboard for some company departments and it doesn't have to slick, smooth or sexy. Just a dashboard which is faster and more flexible than sending Excel sheets back and forth. Then yes, Bootstrap is a good choice.<p>Don't want to be too negative, maybe it's just my cluenessless but could somebody enlighten me: why do I need else Bootstrap in 2016?
As a web developer who works almost exclusively with Boostrap and finds the beginning stages of building a site with Bootstrap to be very tedious, I love this. My boss (does a lot of web design work but not coding) might find this interesting too. He's been wanting to be able to sit and make mockups but can't find the motivation or maybe time to do it.
Suggestion for you FAQ:<p>> 4) Why use Bootstrap?
> Because Bootstrap is the most widely adopted development framework, with the largest thriving community and most extensive documentation.<p>How about something a little better than "because everyone else is using it", such as:<p>"Bootstrap gives us a common vocabulary of classes and components that makes it easier for beginners to build fully-functioning markup, and makes it easier for developers of all levels to communicate with one another. It also provides constraints on the otherwise-unlimited possibilities of HTML+CSS which makes it possible for us to build this GUI tool that interacts with it."
I'm very impressed, thanks for this app. Until now, I used Pencil for prototyping on linux, which was not very efficient because it's more focused on desktop app building.<p>Totally love the fact that there's a real browser behind and I can just add bootstrap classes on elements I want. Great job, instant hook.
What is up with every app requiring 10.8 and above? It's fine for others but very unsettling for developer tools. I still know devs on 10.6.x!<p>This is even more weird when you consider that laptops that came with 10.7 went out of AppleCare a few months ago.
This thing is amazing. I am a backend developer, and over the last couple of years becoming "full stack" for web projects. For me I can do CSS/Photoshop stuff but I'd rather hand code assembly language than CSS wrangling anyday. So this tool is great.<p>I think if the target audience is "non designers" who just want to get something done, it's perfect. I generally throw together UIs at work and pass them on to our designers who of course throw it out and put in real stuff, but at least they know they're starting with a functional product to work from. That's where I think this tool will really work for people.
Pingendo for Bootstrap 4 preview available here <a href="http://v4.pingendo.com/playground.html" rel="nofollow">http://v4.pingendo.com/playground.html</a>
Anyone have details on the technology behind it? I mean is it a cross platform single app written in JS/Electron or individual native languages etc?
is it a coincidence? Bootstrap also introduces something similar today - bootstrap studio (<a href="https://bootstrapstudio.io/" rel="nofollow">https://bootstrapstudio.io/</a>)<p>is there any difference?
This looks very very similar to <a href="http://blocsapp.com" rel="nofollow">http://blocsapp.com</a> (as in the UI being almost an exact copy).
froze 5 min into using the app, whilst browsing stock photo to insert as the hero image...<p>the app felt very clunky. As a developer, I felt very restricted.. This definitely not intended for developers...
I downloaded it one day and realized it was a attempted closed software atom app...just unzip it if you want to comment out their JavaScript security line. Other than that it seems like they took most of their code from a similiar atom project that is completely free and open source.
