Strange; the page is shilling for a product that doesn’t use raw HTML for its site.
I had been looking for how to add Expandable sections using HTML.
Couldn’t find it when I googled it.
Now, after almost a year of having given up, found it.Aside from the misguided part about AI, this is hilarious!
Agreed, the AI part is questionable, I linked it mpstly because it’s mostly funny, plus I learned something new, tho I defo wouldn’t take it too seriously.
Also, no marquee :(
I thought marquee and blink were unofficial syntax??
My Tailwind gang is awfully quiet today 😅
it’s either love it or hate it situation.
For the record, I love tailwind.
I have to use Bootstrap at work and I’m really not a fan. It’s somehow more work than writing CSS from scratch.
Well, just copy shit other people made with minimal changes. Problem solved.
I can use Bootstrap, much like I can write CSS, I just don’t think it’s a good use of my time.
I’m a huge fan of bootstrap and I feel that writing CSS from scratch is much harder.
I’m glad someone does! I don’t like disliking it.
“… I don’t like disliking it.” You and I have very different life experiences.
There’s a lot of things I detest - bananas, generic medieval fantasy settings, reality TV. My life isn’t better for disliking them, it’s just the unfortunate reality of my character.
Agreed. My life is also not better for disliking things, but I really LIKE disliking those things.
give yourself a treat every time you use it
And ring a bell
I don’t do much frontend work these days, but years ago, it felt like the defining feature of Bootstrap was the 12-column layout. Sure, it had fun buttons and other components, but the ability to trivially define multi-column layout without ripping your hair out was its raison d’être.
Now that we have flexbox, I’m not sure anyone needs Bootstrap.
It also has lots of UI widgets like collapsing elements, modals and alerts. Sure, you could code all these by hand, but why bother?
Mainly because I already understand CSS and HTML and having to learn their way of doing things is extra work and overhead.
All the elements you mentioned are natove HTML elements that don’t need any library.
What’s a native HTML element that mimics Bootstraps Collapse?
details and summary?
I was going to list a whole bunch of things the DETAILS tag doesn’t allow, but it seems that none of these issues actually appear. So either it has evolved since I’ve looked at it last time or I was stupid.
Either way, thanks for talking back.
many native elements either do not function like people want or cannot be styled the same
We have better alternatives today as well and still I see people choosing Bootstrap and violently cringe.
I’m kind of surprised to see its name. Was fairly widespread back in angular/backbone days – I kind of assumed all the useful stuff from it got adopted natively as I haven’t really heard any frontend teams I’ve worked with over the recent years mention it.
I used it a little in a recent project, but I’m mostly a backend dev and am new to front end. When I Googlef how to make stuff pretty or improve UI, a lot of results were still related to Bootstrap, probably because it was so ubiquitous for so many years.
