Re: Maintenance release of 2.1
True that. Meanwhile, have you guys seen http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ ? It looks pretty nice, and I imagine something like that could be pretty powerful if deeply integrated with a version of markaby, as a 'ui toolkit for the web' sort of thing - a nice sensible clean default style for quickly prototyping ideas, and teaching beginners the concepts of the web. — Jenna On 03/10/2011, at 8:47 PM, Magnus Holm wrote: On Sun, Oct 2, 2011 at 14:26, Jenna Fox a...@creativepony.com wrote: I wouldn't bother with reducing the revision number.

Re: Maintenance release of 2.1
Personally I hate it. It's like table border=2 and font size=7 once again, except this time camouflaged as CSS classes. The only good things in there are either styled pretty much the same way by default (like, say, headers), or require a line of code (@basefont, layouts). -- Matma Rex 2011/10/3 Jenna Fox a...@creativepony.com: Meanwhile, have you guys seen http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ ?

Re: Maintenance release of 2.1
Oh right, but you can use that LESS thing I think to compile the bootstrap properties in to your regular CSS, so you keep using good quality selectors, and bootstrap essentially augments your CSS with useful macros. Another way to do it is to define markaby helpers for each kind of thing, so you can still just go change one small piece of code to restyle the whole site's whizlebobs. — Jenna On 04/10/2011, at 3:07 AM, Bartosz Dziewoński matma@gmail.com wrote: Personally I hate it.
