#82...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.
When Bootstrap 3.0 was released one of the top comments on HN was a hallelujah for adding/supporting this very feature.
Re: Bootstrap 3.1 released
#83When are they going to add something like Foundation's block grid? That really comes in handy. (Note: I use both Foundation and Bootstrap). Block grid docs - http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/block_grid.html
Unless I am missing something, but I was able to easily reproduce it with current bootstrap styles: http://jsfiddle.net/MgcDU/8706/
Would this work if you wanted to run 5 images in a list? or 7?
The way I'm reading the Zurb behavior referenced, that's what it can do for you.

Or just don't use the parts of Bootstrap you don't need, it's fully modular. Four steps for pairing BS down to your bare essentials: 1. Clone the repo [0]. 2. Hide unneeded JS modules: Open ./Gruntfile.js [1], scroll down to `concat` task, delete or comment the JS files you don't need. 3. Hide unneeded CSS: Open ./less/bootstrap.less [2], delete or comment Less includes you don't need. 4. Run the `grunt` task to reco…
Or even simpler, use the customizer [0] to download the bits you want. A few checkboxes and you're done. [0] http://getbootstrap.com/customize/
That works too, though you don't get the reusable build system, just the compiled output of it.

True... but often I get a feature request and so rather than adding another file, it's often easier for me to just uncomment something that was previously unneeded.

There's been work to re-write sass in C (or C++), preliminary reports showed it being 4,000x faster, IIRC.
This benchmark suggests it's more on the order of 10x?

Re: Bootstrap 3.1 released
#87I 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.
Open an issue (with suggestions?) and we'll check it out.

Neat! It was only partially ported when I last heard numbers, full support often slows things down quite a bit.
Re: Bootstrap 3.1 released
#90Question: If you were developing a large, content-driven site, would you bother with Bootstrap? Bootstrap seemed a bit like overkill when I had to use it in my old job. The CSS and markup seemed excessive, and the strict JS was kind of a pain to deal with. I know I can get something that looks half-decent up and running quickly with it, but if I'm not planning to take any visual design from it, is there much of an ad…
Answer: Don't bother for large websites. Get normalize.css If you really need grids, you can get a lighter framework.
