Research Bootstrap Framework #1

Open Cknutson100 opened 2 years ago

Started researching Bootstrap and other CSS frameworks. Honestly, after watching a couple of videos, particularly this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svPDhmXY1Yg I think it might be better for our team if I don't use a framework. The main reasons were:

  1. It bloats the project and you will be fighting Bootstrap CSS the whole time if you want to do anything custom (I think this will be particularly difficult when we get to the table from our experience last time)
  2. You can pull in different components from other sources if you are planning to use just particular aspects of Bootstraps (example given was like if you want the tables/grids from bootstrap just make your own with CSS grid and Flexbox)
  3. You lose customizability, I think we could probably go for a hybrid approach where I steal common components that I don't want to spend a ton of time designing and then build up my own CSS framework that we can apply to the web app.

Some benefits were that:

  1. bootstrap makes everything go faster
  2. If your goal is to learn something other than frontend development Bootstrap can give you a functional UI very quickly
