- vivegi 4y agoI mostly use Bootstrap for prototypes. For most of my use cases, I just use card styled divs. There is basic support for different types of container divs in bootstrap. There's card-group, card-deck and even card-columns. Never had to go beyond these for my requirements. Forms are a breeze and come out looking great, right out of the box. Bootstrap has a flex (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/utilities/flex/ https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/utilities/flex/) for managing layout, alignment, grid sizing etc., Also, targeting multiple form-factors and building responsive UIs is easy once you start with the mobile-first styling classes and then start setting the various breakpoints for larger device form-factors. If you already know HTML and some basic CSS, getting up to speed on Bootstrap or Material Design basics might be just a day or so. Their documentation is very good and you can go straight to the section you want (eg: tables) and try it out in your HTML.
- danielvaughn 4y agoMy own advice, on the other hand, is to use Tailwind. Tailwind is far more flexible than Bootstrap and it's super easy to understand. If you pair it with the Intellisense plugin, it's a total game changer. I've been writing CSS for over a decade and I'll never go back to normal CSS after trying it.
