Yes, and we'll be adding support for that as opt-in in v5.1.0! Here's a little teaser: https://deploy-preview-31813--twbs-bootstrap.netlify.app/doc... .

Snark aside, we haven't had anything to do Twitter for almost nine years. They don't do anything for or with Bootstrap :).

Not yet, sorry! RTL was our big feature addition that came with some significant departures. Tried to keep the breaking changes and overhauls to a minimum compared to the v3-v4 mig…

Thank you! <3

Thank you! <3

Yup, and we're looking at dropping Legacy Edge from our supported browsers for this reason as well. As of right now, we still have v17 and v18 in there, but there's a PR open to re…

Thanks! Who knows how long this will take with the pandemic (and I work full-time at GitHub, and most of the team has full-time jobs), so all that does slow us down. That said, thi…

With how the web has evolved over the years, we've been caught on the side of being too far behind and being too far ahead. We want to move faster and find the right balance. v4 wa…

Nope! We're a small distributed team that works on Bootstrap when we can. Jacob and I created it at Twitter, but we took it with us in 2012 when we both left :).

Reinventing the wheel is awesome! More people, myself included, need to build from scratch and learn ourselves every now and then. Definitely interested in more tooling around help…

Unsure how we'll tackle this overall, but we are looking at increased customization and variants for a handful of key components. This might be a mistake, and if so, we'll hope to …

To clarify, v5 removes jQuery, but not our JavaScript—we've rewritten everything to work without it.

I feel you! Good news is IE11 is going end of life soon and it's increasing less of a concern. Legacy Edge is still there to fill the void though :D.

Very happy to hear this for both of you! Bootstrap 2 was life changing for us to create and share :). <3

Speaking to the lifetime of each major version—Bootstrap 4 can't go into any kind of LTS situation until v5 is fully stable. That's going to take a few months just being honest, so…

Thank you! <3

Hey, that's awesome! Reminds me that Bootstrap started over six years ago from a Less variable and mixin library ( http://getpreboot.com ).

We'll be working on moving on from jQuery. When we finally decided to commit to it, it was too late in the v4 alpha process to really spend significant time doing it. We'll be piec…

1) There are tools to do this for you in any project :). 2) Bootstrap 4 includes dozens of utilities like these and more. Still have some to add, but there are tons. 3) Our theme s…

Probably gonna stick with some Sass stuff for awhile, tackling components and JS behaviors we haven’t done in the past. There’s some major stuff we’re missing even before CSS grid …

Yup, Johann is going to slowly tackle rewriting plugins in vanilla JS. That’s a big task, but we’ll do it in time.

Fixed! Sorry about that :).
