#bootstrap

I've been planning to spin up a small personal website. I knew I didn't need a full-blown CMS for this and, since I have so much experience using Bootstrap through my day job, decided to use it to build a site from scratch. It's been a while since I created a site from scratch—most of my experience lately involves taking on existing Enterprise sites and caretaking from there—but I was looking forward to both the challenge and the freedom of building my own.

#Bootstrap fun: #libassuan upgraded its symbols separately from its #soname in a patch-level release (with several weeks in between!)
On #ArchLinux we had upgraded to the weird version that has a soname change but no symbol change.
Since #pacman requires the library transitively via #gpgme, there now is no clean way to upgrade this without patching all consumers in some intermediate step. 🗑️ 🔥
(The staging build environment would otherwise have a broken pacman and thus not be functional).

I am picking a #CSS UI framework for a web app (Django, htmx, old-school server-side rendering), and I thought: “There ought to be something more hip and modern than #Bootstrap!”. But after a quick web search, it seems like there isn't? What are y'all using that is not React-/Tailwind-based and does not require a build step?

But trees never get it all, why, as soon as there is conflict in the #bootstrap pseudoreplicates we used to establish branch (!!!, not "node", like many still write) support, I like to sum them up as a #ConsensusNetwork

Which, in this case, has the typical form one can expect in the face of fast ancient radiation. Eases the decision making about which clade should be numbered as a main one.

#Rails 8 is REALLY indie-hacker-friendly! To help you quickly bootstrap new ideas, I built railsmaker.com/ — a pay-what-you-want template that jumpstarts your projects while keeping costs extremely low. WDYT? Let me know!

I also spent some time messing around with the Chameleon skin on Mediawiki. First time I had a serious look at it.

This skin uses Bootstrap 4 and if I'm following how it works, it basically allows you to skin/theme/layout a Mediawiki site any way you like.

You know how pretty much all Mediawiki sites look the same regardless of what skin is active? This allows you to change that.

It's a bit of a pain to install the Bootstrap extension and the skin itself in the official docker container. I don't know why this is not made a default or accessible via a tag. It should be - from what I've seen this should be considered a leading feature for MW.

Just scratching the surface but looking forward to doing something to modernize the look of my internal wiki. The Medik skin is cool and all but it sill looks like MW ultimately, even with colour and font rotations and such.

Poking around, my MW instance is 12 years old and has ~1100 pages. Nutty.
