Ok I see not a fast trace in making a web site. But if you download let's say redd wallet there is a bootstrap download. I thought this meant to be a fast syncs time
>>
>>2574262
not sure its probably a different bootstrap then what im talking about.

bootstrap is a webpage template
>>
>>2574236
it's an easy copy/paste to make
>>
>>2574236
>>2574302

so spending a ton of money on developing a completely custom site layout framework is a smart business decision. sounds legit.
>>
>>2574356
Just put some effort to make it not look like you downloaded a template.
>>
>>2574284
bootstrap itself isn't a template, at it's core it's just a flex layout (responsive design) with some styled components

there are a bunch of bootstrap templates, though

honestly, i don't think most people here could even make those shitcoin websites, so as usual, it's a circle jerk of /biz/ people who don't know shit
>>
>>2574356
css isnt hard to learn
>>
>>2574356
not always, but one shows a lot more effort
>>
>>2574284
Ya I see. I think when you download the wallet to your browser it don't loads the block chain as well. Witch is kinda risky come to think about it. But you don't have to mine one block after the other. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought op was correct for a second. Rdd bag holder here it will be a dollar soon
>>
>>2574388
someone else who doesn't know what they're talking about, congrats
>>
>>2574383
I think the issue is that out of the box bootstrap feel. Honestly simply going with the foundation framework makes it not look like a shitcoin site almost instantly.
>>
>>2574388
very hard to master.
>>
>>2574131
It's a CSS framework from twitter that's open source.

>>2574094
>>their website uses bootstrap
What front end framework would you recommend OP?
>>
>>2574418
So it has nothing to do with statistical bootstrapping?

What is bootstrap? And why should I care if a website uses it?
>>
>>2574398
the whole idea behind these frameworks is just to make development faster

styling the buttons takes no time, and changing up some form fields might take 20 minutes

the core is that every browser (+ mobile) responds differently to css. not everything renders the same. these frameworks have worked out the kinks to minimize effort across platforms.


>>2574455
you realize you can make that website super easily using bootstrap, right?

and it'd literally look exactly the same

and it'd actually speed up development so that it'd work on mobile with the same codebase

the site you posted also doesn't use responsive design, so they're basically shit at web dev

using boostrap would have actually fixed this problem and development would have been quicker
>>
How can you have the audacity to say sia is a scamcoin?
>>
>>2574490
it looks like shit, you cant deny the facts
>>
>>2574472

Bootstrap is just a framework for making web sites. They say to avoid coins with bootstrap because it shows the devs don't really give a fuck about their coin and just want to pump something out quickly. But bootstrap is used by tons of web sites good and bad so you can't really classify a coin being back for just using bootstrap.
>>
Pajeets involved in any way.
>>
>wallet doesn't work
>>
>>2574490
Bootstrap has its place, however I think the overall message of this thread is to put some effort into branding your site and not just change the _variables file around a bit. Memecoins tend to do the bare minimum.

example: ethereum.org uses bootstrap but you'd never know:
https://www.ethereum.org/css/frontier.min.css
>>
>>2574509
bootstrap doesn't have a "look" to it
it's basically just a grid system
you can make a site like the one you posted with bootstrap out of the box, literally in less time without bootstrap, and with proper mobile support

you're basically saying "power tools look like shit" because it just so happens people who use this one brand make shitty looking websites

in the right hands, any power tool's going to work
>>
>>2574544
these web tools have been developed over years for a reason
anyone who knows what they're doing is going to use them
i agree with you that there should be effort put into a website, but people that are saying "don't use bootstrap" are idiots

it's like saying we shouldn't use jquery because everyone should know plain javascript/dom manipulation

"we shouldn't use cars, we should just walk everywhere. everyone has the same cars and they look the same"

literally this level of fail meme logic

I've checked a few of them and don't find any references to the bootstrap js file.

I haven't actually looked, but I assume the js is rolled up with other libs on the site to reduce page weight.

The team can issue new tokens at any time.

Shockingly, the team can DESTROY any tokens FROM ANY ACCOUNT, at any time.

The ability to issue and destroy tokens is required in order to be able to recover from a potential security breach. If tokens were issued through a security exploit in the contract, this ability would enable stopping the hacker from running away with the tokens.

nah its just easier to create a responsive website with bootstrap
>>
>>2574356
Depending on circumstances it can very well be. If you're an insurance company you better put a lot of effort into design, layout and the possible search engines you're using to navigate the site. It will definitely pay off.
