Facebook uses Twitter Bootstrap
- creativityhurts 14y agoFunny that not even Facebook devs bothered to change the colours to use the FB brand blue. Twitter Bootstrap slowly becomes synonym to "basic unstyled webpage".
- hnriot 14y agoit looks like they have to me? The header bar is using #333333 just like facebook.com does. If "basic unstyled webpage" is now bootstrap, then the world is a better place.
- missechokit 14y agoSeriously. I'm just waiting for that day.
- citricsquid 14y agoclick "examples", it's #08C.
- creativityhurts 14y agoThe top bar and the left side is still from Facebook, Bootstrap is used within an iframe that's actually the whole main column.
- vacipr 14y agoThis reminded me of https://github.com/ckrack/fbootstrapp https://github.com/ckrack/fbootstrapp. Too bad development stopped.
- d0m 14y agoSigh. So fucking what, that facebook uses bootstrap.
- mvd7793 14y agoI just got a good laugh out of it, and thought others might too. It's certainly not meant to be a bash at Facebook.
- creativityhurts 14y agoI think it's a big thing for Bootstrap as a project and for its creators and contributors when their work is used by giants like Facebook & co.
- imjared 14y agoIt's a Twitter project, it's not like bootstrap isn't being used by "giants" already.
- creativityhurts 14y agoI meant other giants besides the company that helped creating it.
- pizza 14y agoOn a more general note, is anyone else tired of seeing "X uses Y" posts? It feels more and more that, in the Valley, namedropping is a way to ensure your own relevance, whether you're a business or a landing page or a person, and I'm getting tired of these appeals to popularity.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoI'm pretty much 100% sure Facebook is not name-dropping Twitter.
- pizza 14y agoYeah, but OP is.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoI can't say I understand what point the OP is trying to make, but I don't think it's what you're implying.
- blago 14y ago"X - the Y for something" is even more annoying. Example from first page: "EasyPost - the Stripe for postage"
- electic 14y agoBig deal. Facebook uses a lot of JS and CSS from all over the place. Not sure why this is a big deal.
- sjtgraham 14y agoso. what.
- arice 14y agoFYI: Facebook has open sourced this tool, you can find it on github. Here's the commit that added Bootstrap: https://github.com/daaku/rell/commit/64bd62d40df54ddc08a9270110cf00478798acd0 https://github.com/daaku/rell/commit/64bd62d40df54ddc08a9270...
- daakus 14y agoI'm the Facebooker maintaining this tool. We use it internally and externally and it represents a "platform application". It runs on a separate domain (www.fbrell.com) and is iframed on the linked page on facebook.com. It's all open source actually: https://github.com/daaku/rell https://github.com/daaku/rell. Even better, it's written in Go :)
