Thank you! That one is my own favorite as well.

#5Is Bootstrap 4 ready for use?
It changed a lot during the alpha phases but it's in beta now and I believe they said they would not make major changes to the api so I'm using it currently in new projects.

#6This is a great idea - lots of sites can make great use of Bootstrap and having ways to reskin it easily greatly increases the available looks and feels.
Something I'd personally pay for is an in-depth guide for how to go about reskinning Bootstrap myself, as my current approach is just to add one-off styles as needed or customize a few of the Sass variables but nothing fancier.

It's currently in beta. According to the developers there will be no more breaking changes, so that's something. It's also the default download version on getbootstrap.com now. For early adopters I think it's a good pick. If you need more stability, Bootstrap 3 will be maintained for some time as well.
Bootstrap 4 has some really good new features so I use it for my own projects.

#8This looks great. Two things that got me though...
The "picker" tool does not do what I thought it would. And for the modifier classes I'd rather see the word than the color if I had to choose one of the other. I.e. "danger" instead of a red square.
One of my favorite things about bootstrap is the way class naming is semantic -- it denotes purpose not color. So using a color picker looking square to change the modifier seems non-intuitive to me.

That's not accurate on breaking changes, there will be additional ones in the future:
> We’ve done our best to prevent breaking changes, but we had to sneak some in. Regrettably, we’ll also have a few more coming in Beta 3, too. However, we’re clearly outlining all of them for you to make the upgrade and testing process as easy as possible.

#10What interactive code picker did you use? I don't see you talking about it anywhere. Useful site though.
