#22One amazing thing to note is that in v3.3.5 (last stable) bootstrap.min.css was at ~123kb. The new 4.0.0 alpha bootstrap.min.css is at ~88kb. WOW. That's just amazing. Congrats to everyone who worked on this project. I'm always so impressed with the work done on it!
Also, I want to add, I don't care where you land on the side of the debate whether to use Bootstrap or not, there is some very smart minds behind the project and there always something to learn from the source code.

#23http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/examples/justified-nav/ broken for anyone else? also: http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/examples/sticky-footer-navb...
Yup! Lots will be a little broken until we get into the beta phase. Still tons to do, but we wanted to get this out there :).

Meh, if it means rapidly putting together a high-quality, cross-browser, responsive website with little effort, I'll accept a little bloat. The savings in developer time is more than worth it, IMO. Doubly so given how much of that CSS and JS is likely cached.

#25I am very new to Bootstrap, but it has been such an easy tool to get a website professional-looking in no time at all. Great to see all these improvements from such a young library.

#26Also launching official bootstrap themes: http://themes.getbootstrap.com/collections/all Edit: unfortunately though, the 'dashboard' theme is not fully responsive (tables (order history) in mobile view)
Wow, $99.

Thanks for noticing! :)
I spent a lot of time deleting stuff lol. Still more to optimize around though as we work through the alphas.

#28Flex! fantastic. I have no opinion but am curious about why you bailed on Less and committed to Sass. If you see this, can you explain?

Wow, $99.
They only provide one type of license: http://themes.getbootstrap.com/pages/our-license
It is comparable to the "Multiple Applications License" provided by WrapBootstrap. Still relatively expensive since most Multiple Applications Licenses are under $99.
Re: Bootstrap 4 alpha
#30They seem pretty confident about Sass; It seems outdated and clunky to me, in part because it's always going to be the only Ruby dependency in any of my projects. The Javascript parser never found parity from what I know. By contrast, PostCSS is faster and has massive adoption. Seems like the way forward. Anybody think this is wrong? > PostCSS can do the same work as preprocessors like Sass, Less, and Stylus. But Pos…
I've been hearing a lot of noise about that. As a person who went from LESS to SCSS, is there any reason I should again switch my focus to PostCSS?
