Hi, what's the difference between Pure and Bootstrap? Should I even consider Pure if I'm using Bootstrap (or something similar) already?

- hobonumber1 13y agoBootstrap lets you pull down 1 CSS file and has a very opinionated design. It's not that easy to over-write its styles. The entire bootstrap.css minified is around 80kb, IIRC. Pure is less than 15kb minified (< 5kb minified + gzipped). It's meant to be a starting point for your application's styles, taking care of all the hard stuff, like aligning forms, making buttons look consistent, having a common CSS base, etc. From here on, you can write your own application styles to make your app look pretty. In the end, you end up using a lot less CSS to achieve a similar effect. in the end, they are different products. You can use Bootstrap and Pure together too (see the Extend page for an example).
