If xda were based on bootstrap

[brianmoyano]

Hello everyone!

I'm a 17 years old guy, who is trying to be a proffessional designer and developer. For the moment, i'm just an amateur.
My knowledges are: HTML & CSS and i'm trying to expand them it.

So, just for fun, i made a XDA sub-forum based on bootstrap.

I just want to know, what they think. And, in a near future, if a designer can make a usable theme for vBulletin.

PS: Check the user section, and the 'Quick Links' section, it has dropdown.

Looks really nice and clean. I haven't used bootstrap but I hear it is a good base to work from.

When designing the 2013 theme we originally tried to use pure CSS, but the way vBulletin is set up made it very difficult.

We are working on a mobile 2013 theme. If you are interested and want to send a sample, we would love to see it. We have the beginning done but need to flesh it out so that all functions work on a mobile browser. My current thinking is that http://jquerymobile.com/ would be a good way to go.

Keep up the good work, you'll be a developer in no time!

Unfortunately bootstrap, jquery mobile are over bloated..

I wanted to try jQuery Mobile on a mobile site but I've decided that the best way is to build out a mobile template "in-house". The users with poor phones and slow connection will thank you. Both parts saves lot of bandwidth.

I know.. I like the flexibility, functionality, animations of jQuery Mobile but it takes too much precious space (& bandwidth)..

Additionally you can make two mobile interfaces: one for old phones and one for top notch smartphones.

Yea, sometimes is better to create a crossbrowser site from scratch.
