Considering that, I find it odd that the Ratchet homepage doesn't appear to be using Bootstrap.

It's because it's hosted on GitHub Pagee

I am new to bootstrap: what does it need that gh pages don't support?

Really cool stuff there, Does anyone know of similar project that are built with the Android's UI in mind? It seems like almost all of these kind of projects are built with iOS' UI in mind... wonder why..

I know. Because only 7-8% of mobile generated Internet traffic accounts for Android.

This is really impressive. I'm tempted by the idea that combined with AngularJS directives[1], this can really work wonders for iphone development. So instead of all the divs and css, the code can be really boiled down to this:
On the backend you can have something like:

   angular.module(...).directive('titleBar', function(){ 
      template: '{{title}}'
      });
Will make writing the code much easier and intuitive.

I would really love a reference for that.

I do not doubt you. I just think it would be helpful if there was a reference.

Nothing, in fact the bootstrap site itself is hosted on gh pages.
