Anyone using Bootstrap from Twitter to design for Textpattern?

I’m exploring using the Bootstrap from Twitter css framework. I see that carloscuellar.net uses it. Anyone else applying Bootstrap to your Textpattern site?

I’m switching a web app to it, migrating away from Notjustagrid. But that’s not a TXP site.

Really impressed that they released the code.

Yes I use it – I’m using elements from it in the TXP5 admin-side redesign in fact.

I’m using it too but probably not in the way it was intended. I’m chucking whole loads of code out modifying a lot of the code that’s staying behind, as well as adding a lot my own stuff.

I love the fact that they use LESS and included all their LESS files in the download.

I’d say that’s exactly how it’s intended to be used. If someone is using it ‘as is’ that is not very creative on their part and their site is going to look pretty dull.

That’s good to know. I was beginning to wonder if I should just roll my own code with all the modifications I was doing.
