Bootstrap framework

[Aventro]

Perhaps I'm late, but I just discovered this awesome framework called Bootstrap, it simplifies and makes web development much faster and powerful. Have you used it? What do you think about it?

Personally, I'll try it out on my up coming project, I built a simple and nice template within minutes.

Experimenting with making a template for NWE with it. Takes a bit of changes to the core to get it working. But once in place I think it can make for rapid development.

Why would you change the core with this ****?

honestly... If you even bother to look at NWE you would of noticed it has way more potential than this..

^just my opinion

[Someone]

We have different opinions then. The NWE html structure is not very well, not bad, not very good. In my opinion.

But your just going to clutter the engine reducing the load times :S

after you have finished this core edit can you post speed tests of both scripts (page load times)

[Someone]

JQuery and extensive use of javascript _can_ slow things down. Bootstrap is mostly about CSS. I have to modify/custom write any module I am gonna use anyway, changing a few classes don't take that long, and dont slow the server scripts down. TemplateTableHeader and TemplateLinkButton takes care of most of the changes. I am however looking into using LESS so I don't commit to one framework.

Will you be sharing your edits, once you're happy with it?

-Somewhat interested in what you come up with. :)

Sure I will, no problem. Cant promise when, but as you said when I think its presentable.
