The last discussion of Twitter Bootstrap seemed to end pretty ambiguously.
Is Twitter Bootstrap what everyone should be using to make their MVP when they don't have a designer? Or is it sufficiently non-cross-platform compatible and specific to Twitter's requirements (no jQuery/jQuery UI?) that one should just use another admin theme from Theme Forest?
(Also, Blekko somehow supports grep on its dataset, but doesn't support it without voting? Is this a social mechanism, or does their infrastructure actually work in a way that this is an expensive operation?!)
- tonywebster 15y agoThat's an interesting point -- Bootstrap can really help out on projects who don't have the time or money for a designer, where that project would otherwise look like a Geocities page. At the foursquare hackathon in SF last weekend, there were at least three teams using it. I think it'll get old very quickly unless someone writes some sort of generator to customize the way it looks. But until then, I think it looks solid and has a lot more uses than anything on ThemeForest.
- jamesgeck0 15y agoWhen they say "grep", they appear to literally be running grep on four billion documents[1]. I'm assuming that is a significantly more expensive operation than their normal search algorithm as it won't use whatever search tree they've got set up. 1. http://blog.blekko.com/2011/09/13/get-ready-to-grep-the-web/ http://blog.blekko.com/2011/09/13/get-ready-to-grep-the-web/
