WinJS/ Windows Phone HTML and Twitter Bootstrap -


is there case trying integrate twitter bootstrap (v3 rc1 @ time of writing) windows store winjs app or windows phone html5 app?

it strikes me mobile first/ responsive nature of bootstrap lend rending in full screen mode , snapped view mode alike - in case of windows store app.

given traction bootstrap gaining each day, worth attempting?

i can see being able use themes places {wrap} bootstrap , bootswatch, name few, incredibly useful - if you're trying create consistent brand across web , devices.

an issue may how work panorama-like components...

it depends.

if want more custom experience in app , not use winjs think worth it, when win 8.1 comes out , apps have work , scale 500px width large widths of desktop monitors (no more snapped mode).

if want fit in win 8 ux guidelines think twitter bootstrap more of problem help.

microsoft has developed quite extensive set of ux guidelines laying out page, margins, font sizes animations etc.

they did of win store apps should present familiar user patterns (bottom app bar, search etc).

you can read more @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh770552. guidelines quite detailed , worth reading.

twitter bootstrap doesn't fit guidelines have hack lot adjust them.

additionally if you're using winjs need familiar , use winjs css 'framework' (ui.dark.css or ui.light.css) style winjs controls. more controls use more it's css framework need learn & tweak. many of controls designed scale small large widths (listview, appbar etc.) free.

trident engine in ie10/11 (where app runs) has support grid layout , flexbox layout ease making responsive designs in great way. supports many custom '-ms' extensions css when comes zooming/panning via touch/mouse or keyboard twitter bootstrap doesn't support.

you can grab pieces bootstrap need , ignore rest. remember 1 of win store app requirements app must accessible via keyboard/mouse , touch, make sure boostrap components work touch.
