I really want to say that the criticism in these comments is just playing into the author's hands. Please tell me this is a joke?
- sprobertson 14y agoThe 'Le's are actually a "feature" of Bootstrap.
- oinksoft 14y agoI feel like I've been living under a rock. Please replace said rock.
- pythononwheels 14y ago1 point by pythononwheels 7 minutes ago | link | edit | delete Hey oinksoft. Dont just punch on top... To your points: 1. The shebang: yes, ouch, gets removed. 2. Pow_console: it is a remark that i too, code from there. I always comment the source if code is not mine. 3. The mentioned code snippets from the homepage are default twitter-bootstrap sources.. Criticism is ok but this is bashing... So, no, its no joke ;)
- oinksoft 14y agoOK, sorry if I offended you, it's just that some "trolls" are quite subtle and there are enough iffy things that I suspected a joke behind this. The project name also bears similarity to some other projects that have been jokes in the past: * Cobol on Cogs: http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM * Bash on Balls: https://github.com/jayferd/balls https://github.com/jayferd/balls (more of a bizarre proof of concept than an out-and-out joke) That's no discredit to your own development abilities because the code itself, while far from perfect, seems sizable and functional enough to show that you've put some real thought and effort into this -- keep it up! With time and a good cleanup effort, I'm sure you'll have something that nobody would bat an eye at. More than likely, Hacker News picked up the your project website because of its name, and so now the spotlight is shining very harshly indeed. It was unfair of me to judge your project as I did. P.S. You copied part of the HN commenting interface in your comment, and you don't need to include that.
- pythononwheels 14y agoHi, no problem, Project names are really funny. I didnt know them.. Thx and regards, Khz

FWIW, I submitted this after I saw the latest release announced at https://lwn.net/Articles/510286/ https://lwn.net/Articles/510286/ but couldn't find any previous discussion of the framework here.
