Maybe explain why it's a better choice than Bootstrap? It's certainly visually different, but still awfully similar to most end users.

Honestly I think the biggest problem with Bootstrap is that everyone uses Bootstrap (because it's so nicely done) and therefore your site looks like the other million sites on the web that use it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You got that right....it uses the same format for naming the classes but it have some other features bootstrap does not.. I just think to choose a framework you have to see if the class names make sense...how easy is to adapt and change...to fill your needs...just my humble opinion... I'll continue working to give a better api and built more useful addons Cheers!

> but it have some other features bootstrap does not But what's the differences beyond visual changes (which, frankly, aren't important).

I think the visual elements do make a difference but taking that out...it has probably not much differences with bootstrap...I'll be working to make it more semantic, lightweight...and that should give a better development experience...

You have any suggestions?

I noticed that Furatto uses Normalize, can I use this framework with the legacy version of Normalize? I am stuck working on intranet apps and need to support IE 7/8.

You should be fine yeah!

It looks pretty nice, and has some nice JS but... On Chrome (latest) Windows, I have double scrollbars.

And if I may nitpick a few things...

1. The pagination #'s are offcenter. 2. The titles (Navbar, Pagination, etc are almost invisible on my screen)

What makes this different/better than something like flatstrap?

If you look at the git commit history, you'll actually see it is a modified version of flatstrap.

I love the flat font. I think I could use this framework for a couple of my prototypes.

What is a "flat font"?

There are a few issues that made me close the web site after a few seconds. I'm usually very excited about frontend frameworks and add them right to my bookmarks; not in this case though.

- The Furatto title on the start page is way too close to the top navigation. - That thin font in the navigation & title renders pretty ugly on my MBA/Chrome. - When I clicked the first navigation button seeing the text move down vertically because of the top border I closed the tab.

I'm sorry I can only give negative feedback but it may be useful in some way..
