Pushed to CDN too http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!bootstrap

Curious what people's thoughts on using a CDN for these sorts of things (Bootstrap, JQuery etc) versus deploying it on their own sites. It's an extra DNS query - but thoughts on overall impact on performance?

...and they still haven't moved to "sanity" by adding/supporting: * { box-sizing: border-box; } the line that I start all my CSS with nowadays. Quote from their docs: > Some third party software, including Google Maps and Google Custom Search Engine, conflict with Bootstrap due to * { box-sizing: border-box; }, a rule which makes it so padding does not affect the final computed width of an element.

They switched to border-box in 3.0.

In the documentation pages they have inexplicably moved the navigation links to the right side.

We'll see how it goes—if enough folks complain, we can revisit :). I wanted the content to be in the absolute forefront with this update. That meant not affixing the top navbar and downplaying the side nav. I think it's super helpful, but again, I'm open to reversing things again if it'd be better for more folks.

I like the links on the right, but I think the main navbar should be affixed. Having to scroll all the way up to get back to it is a pain, especially on the longer pages.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

SASS is backed by Ruby, so you can take advantage of all of Ruby's power, including reading from the filesystem. For instance, combined with Compass, you can read image sizes and automatically pull in width and height for a class. Or you can more easily make sprite images via a mixin that knows the size of the image and how many rows/columns you have. I've been using bootstrap-sass since it was targeting bootstrap 2.…

Actually, I moved away from Sass >because Fortunately, now there is node-sass and it's grunt wrapper, making for vastly faster transpiling process. https://github.com/andrew/node-sass

There's been work to re-write sass in C (or C++), preliminary reports showed it being 4,000x faster, IIRC.

I was really hoping they would be able to come up with a simple way to turn on/off hovering in the distribution (without having to rebuild). Hovering provides unwanted "sticky" active states on touch-based devices. Given BS3 is suppose to be mobile-first I am surprised they let this go.

Love the Sass port. My one complaint with Bootstrap is that its grid system uses float instead of inline-block. Is it easy to use a different grid system with Bootstrap without breaking its other components?

You should check out Pure's grid system. Works well with Bootstrap. http://purecss.io Disclaimer: I helped write Pure

This looks cool. I'm checking it out for an upcoming project.
