[Question] Custom Theme Development without Bootstrap?

[xCausxn]

Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone has attempted/made a demo of a NodeBB theme without the bootstrap dependency. From what I have seen when I started trying to make a theme it seems that theming is very heavily dependent on Bootstrap v3.

Any insight or knowledge about this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

@xCausxn Please may I ask what things you are using to help you make this theme? Like, docs? Videos?

[xCausxn]

I'm using the docs and looking at other themes people have made:

https://nodebb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/themes/create.html

https://github.com/pichalite/nodebb-theme-slick for example

@xCausxn you will run into many road blocks if you don't use Bootstrap. Unfortunately it is a hard dependency.

[xCausxn]

Yeah that's the only thing that is quite annoying :P, even bootstrap 4 would be nice haha

Well, bs4 is currently in development so we won't be adopting it yet.

The way mdo is acting, we might not stick with bootstrap at all...
