Great write up, really enjoyed it. One thing that I feel I've noticed is that AirBnB doesn't actively inform you when you have or earn referral credit. I had a nice surprise the other day when I booked a place and got it (nearly)

Looks great, Ben! I agree with thebiglebrewski that a link to a demo site would be super helpful. FYI, I built a similar (paid) product for Shopify Themes ( http://bootstrapforshopify.com ) and I have gotten quite a few queries fr

Ooh, I hadn't seen Typeplate. Thanks for the tip :). I'm not aware of any LESS equivalents (but then again, I do very little LESS work). It may be heresy, but I haven't had any issues using both preprocessors in a single proj

To provide a counter-point to jwcooper, I've used both the original LESS and the SCSS version, and I have run into a couple of minor quirks (things like elements inside input groups not lining up correctly) with the latter. While I&#x2

https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/3.0.0-wip/less/gri... You might be looking at the 2.3.1 (master) branch, which didn't use border-box :).

I believe Bootstrap 3 does in fact use border-box - hence the padded grids and a major driver behind the drop in support for IE7.

by gavinballard 14y ago
I suspect that will be because the primary grid is now based on percentage values rather than fixed pixel values. When you're splitting a grid into columns using percentage widths, often the browser has to make a choice between rounding up

Your configuration file might need to be read by more than one language. It's also nice to have a configuration file mean the same thing regardless of its runtime environment.

As above in my reply to the parent, if you've got a few minutes available to discuss the troubles you had, I'd love to hear from you.

If you have a few spare minutes of time, I'd be really interested to hear more detail about this - what problems you faced, what you felt was unclear, and what you felt was complex. My email's in my profile if you'd be willing to discuss. C

I'd suggest that your problem might not so much be the tool itself, but the wrong tool for what you want. I'd be interested to see what "normal" CSS/HTML you would use to achieve a fluid, responsive grid in a relatively cross-browser fashio
