This is amusing as a developer, but there's a reason why Bootstrap is still a thing. It works. And I don't even really like it, to be quite honest. Yet in terms of what it's designed to do, it succeeds. The public doesn't know what Bootstrap is and, with a couple tweaks to the colors and border radii, they won't even notice that they're on a site that's nearly identical to a millon+ other sites.
- Ferret7446 4y agoDoes it work? I'm probably not the target audience, but I don't know who would actually read a bootstrap page. It's a few sentences worth of information bloated up in both page space and data. The first and only thing I do is find the link in the top right that leads to a more traditional page that actually contains useful information (e.g., Docs, FAQs, About).
- jweir 4y agoI go to a bootstrap site and I know what to do. Familiarity is a feature.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoI honestly get pretty confused by these websites, usually I have to use ctrl+f to find the content, but often I fail to find what I'm looking for.
- andirk 4y agoUI that does that collapse thing (mobile Wikipedia for the fail!!) causes the find on page feature to become useless.
- pier25 4y agoYeah it's still way more popular than Tailwind for example. https://2021.stateofcss.com/en-US/technologies https://2021.stateofcss.com/en-US/technologies
