Thought you guys might find this useful. I whipped it up over the weekend as I couldn't find one that worked properly. I'm using it for a client project, and will make updates as I make progress.

#2Hey, this is awesome! Got a demo site maybe?

#3Also would be awesome to implement it as a theme in https://github.com/zachfeldman/wordpress-haml-sass

#4Why would you adapt Wordpress, something that isn't a bootstrap project, but rather a mature product? The bootstrap framework is meant as (and delivers as) a starter place from which to begin customization. Bootstrap has done wonders for the web, but putting a theme on wp for it just doesn't (to me) make any sense.

Bootstrap is a framework for design, Wordpress is a CMS. Completely different products.

This isn't adapting WordPress really - it provides a starting point for theme development, which is something different from adapting WordPress.

#7Looks great, Ben! I agree with thebiglebrewski that a link to a demo site would be super helpful.
FYI, I built a similar (paid) product for Shopify Themes (http://bootstrapforshopify.com) and I have gotten quite a few queries from folks asking about a similar thing for Wordpress - there are people willing to pay for something like this, for sure, if you're interested in offering a supported version or something of that ilk.
In any case, now I have somewhere to direct folks that ask about a WP Bootstrap framework :).

This isn't a theme, it's a customized boilerplate for themes. On it's own, this is fairly worthless, but it's a good starting point for modern theme development. I pretty much did this myself for the last theme I put together.

#9Good job! I did the same a while ago https://github.com/ptbello/_strap
it's a medley between bootstrap 2.3.* and automattic's _s theme. Haven't got round to updating it to bootstrap 3 yet. I guess that's what the Christmas break will be for.

#10This looks like a good, simple Bootstrap 3 theme. https://github.com/roots/roots is another more mature option, but also has more features (could be a downside for some).
