Making Twitter's Bootstrap a tad easier to use.
Bootstrap
A few days ago Twitter released a new utility called Bootstrap. Its a collection of LESS scripts that creates a very useful CSS file that helps you do flash messages, tables, buttons, and even hover overs. The only issue I had with Bootstrap was I had started using LessFramework4 (a css grid) and Bootstrap comes with a form of 960grid.
Fork
This led me to fork Bootstrap and create a more easy drop-in 'addition' to my project (and probably yours as well). It allows you to use 80% of the cool stuff Bootstrap does well. I call it Bootstrap-thin (or thin bootstrap, depending how you see it).
Node.JS & ExpressJS
At the moment I'm working with Node.JS and Express. Having my newly compiled thin bootstrap scripts ready to go posed a problem as I was also using express-messages by TJ. The flash messages this produces doesn't exactly make using Bootstrap worth while. Indeed the other half of the solution involved making sure my flash messages were formatted in a way which the Bootstrap CSS could properly style. The result was another git repo, express-messages-bootstrap. I also went ahead and published to NPM so you could quite easily do `npm install express-messages-bootstrap` and you'll be good to go wherever you use express-messages.
Hopefully you'll find these repositories useful, now go have some fun!
