Allow me to pre-empt the inevitable question:

'Are the buttons going to remain flat?' - no. https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/pull/6342#issuecomment-...

That is from 3 months ago, I find it odd that no apparent work has been done on buttons since then. If this is the final preview, I'm getting the hint that the final release is not off by much -- are they going to put together their efforts on button-designs just in these last few days?

The months-old official Bootstrap 3 preview website was called 'RC' even though it clearly wasn't a release candidate.

Hello, guys.

Found today, that Bootstrap Team is very close to finish Bootstrap 3(https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/pull/6342), but docs for bootstrap 3 doesn't work (http://rc.getbootstrap.com/), so I forked the repo and built it to watch for new features.

Enjoy!

@mdo asked to not host it anywhere for now (https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/pull/6342#issuecomment-...)

Whoops... But I think a lot of people are want see whats new.

I think, I will turn it down after a while...

Please be a little more respectful. I've flagged this submission and furthermore ask that you take it down. You'll cause way more harm than good.

Thanks

that post was 3 weeks ago.

Btw, I've asked @mdo's opinion. Waiting for the answer.

They've always asked that others not host development documentation. Lots of us keep a local copy either for playing around or helping improve them, but you've clearly posted this as a preview of Bootstrap 3 without any permission from Mark.

It's open-source, man. I did not changed any copyrights or licenses.

Btw, I was impressed with what I saw today morning and just wanted to share my impression with other guys.

It's open-source, man.

Which also means there are some informal rules to follow, such as listening to the wishes and requests of those who ultimately maintain the repos.

I'm sure you hosted it out of good faith. But, please, as a simple proof that you are grateful of the authors' work, do as they requested.

shutting down the docs.

The "Small device grid" will be the biggest feature for me as bootstrap 2.x gave me some headaches implementing a simple 2 column grid on low resolutions.

Comments like my own are probably the reason @mdo would not like the docs made available to everybody as it spreads potential mis-information and sets expectations that every feature will be in the final product.

Is there an option to keep that flat kind of theme? Maybe it's just me, but I think it's better looking than the default theme.

I think, you could try this: http://designmodo.github.io/Flat-UI/

I don't know if I goofed up, or chrome went mental, or something else. But I tried to use their bootstrap theme(?) and Chrome started churning through CPU and memory, stopped rendering things, and generally stopped working.

Removed the flatui bootstrap theme, and everything went back to normal.

But when you open their demo site - all ok?

Maybe you should try profile this page to understand what's going on.

I do, it's awesome!

I do hope so. I think it looks a lot tidier.

I think so too

Am I the only one who is put of by the inconsistency of the red header and (old) purple images?

Even if it is supposed to be just an example of what is possible. At least make it feel as consistent as before.

The Glyphicons are now font icons. Very welcome change!

i've been using bootstrap a lot for the last ~half a year, initially i was like "wow, so much components".

now i think that the styles are not very clean written, you have a lot of work changing standard behavior ...

foundation is much lighter ( of course therefore it lacks a lot of elements, i.e. you have to add icons by yourself ) but also cleaner.

So, as a guy not using bootstrap that much, what's new?

The main differences - all layout now responsive so no need to include bootstrap-responsive.css and use row-fluid, container-fluid. All stuff already always fluid now.

Second main point - the framework now mobile ready - that mean a lot of mobile optimisations and widgets for mobile devices.

Foundation was made to support as many screen sizes as possible with minimal fuzz and they're using Sass with Compass. They released version 4 about 5 weeks ago and it is mobile-first. See http://foundation.zurb.com/ .

OK.
