Wow. Got a lot of minus points for stating that I'm not a fan. Guess I should've elaborated.
Perhaps I should've spoken about how I think half an hour is cutting it a bit tight.
Perhaps I should've mentioned that the background-image idea isn't too smart, as it leaves too much room for erring with non-fitting imagery. That's part of what designers do: they know what fits together - you shouldn't expect programmers to be able to do that. And if you're really set on educating programmers, maybe talk about the background-image's colors, composition or contrast. Or maybe suggest a totally blurred image or something gimmicky that will make it an "instant hit".
Perhaps I should've mentioned that making bootstrap not look like bootstrap in half an hour, inevitably means that you're going to end up with a lesser product. Bootstrap has been designed from the bottom up. You either use that and it's default features, or end up with a hybrid that looks like you "tried to make a half-decent site in half an hour".
But thanks for the rage points there. I wonder if I could make up some points by posting "I'm a fan" elsewhere.
- jspthrowaway2 14y agoThe reason you got downvoted is because these thoughts should have been the ones you shared. Hacker News punishes tiny comments that add nothing to the discussion. So, you're not a fan. Tell us why. Now you know.
- richforrester 14y agoFair enough. (I mean: I'm pretty new to the community, so thanks for the heads up. Live 'n learn, right?)
