I have to use Bootstrap at work and I’m really not a fan. It’s somehow more work than writing CSS from scratch.

I don’t do much frontend work these days, but years ago, it felt like the defining feature of Bootstrap was the 12-column layout. Sure, it had fun buttons and other components, but the ability to trivially define multi-column layout without ripping your hair out was its raison d’être.
Now that we have flexbox, I’m not sure anyone needs Bootstrap.
It also has lots of UI widgets like collapsing elements, modals and alerts. Sure, you could code all these by hand, but why bother?
All the elements you mentioned are natove HTML elements that don’t need any library.
Yes but it wasn’t always the case. Bootstrap used to be very helpful when grids, modals, accordions and so on were not standard.
many native elements either do not function like people want or cannot be styled the same
Can you elaborate? Give some examples?
What’s a native HTML element that mimics Bootstraps Collapse?
details and summary?
I was going to list a whole bunch of things the DETAILS tag doesn’t allow, but it seems that none of these issues actually appear. So either it has evolved since I’ve looked at it last time or I was stupid.
Either way, thanks for talking back.
I had to look it up myself - so I learned about it too!
I’m a huge fan of bootstrap and I feel that writing CSS from scratch is much harder.
I’m glad someone does! I don’t like disliking it.
give yourself a treat every time you use it
As someone working on wrapping up my bachelor’s in software engineering… Yeah… Fuck frameworks.
Everything I’ve been taught thus far has been nice, neat, logical code that has been explained completely. How does memory get allocated for that string? What exactly is a memory stack? How do pointers work? It all just made sense.
Then I get to the last 10 classes of my degree, and as a prerequisite for the last 9 I got treated to “java frameworks”. The classwork essentially teaches me to explicitly ignore how the framework accomplishes the end result, and to instead focus on memorizing bullshit one-line commands that are specific to whatever jackass framework I’m working in.
I’ve spent like 3 weeks straight watching crash course after crash course, trying to find anyone that actually explains the fundamentals of frameworks. Best I could find was an explanation of MVC (model/view/control), but I still don’t see how all that bullshit is easier that writing your own code!!
Fuck frameworks.
Strange; the page is shilling for a product that doesn’t use raw HTML for its site.
Aside from the misguided part about AI, this is hilarious!
Agreed, the AI part is questionable, I linked it mpstly because it’s mostly funny, plus I learned something new, tho I defo wouldn’t take it too seriously.
Also, no marquee :(
My Tailwind gang is awfully quiet today 😅
it’s either love it or hate it situation.
For the record, I love tailwind.
I’ll be your data point on the other side of the record: Tailwind is the worst thing to happen to the web.
