HTML5 Boilerplate v4.0.0
- vacipr 14y agoThey have also released Mobile Boilerplate v4.0.0 for mobile app development. http://html5boilerplate.com/mobile/ http://html5boilerplate.com/mobile/
- treelovinhippie 14y ago"The web's most popular front-end template". With the popularity of Bootstrap, this claim seems unbelievable.
- necolas 14y agoBootstrap isn't a template. It's a complete UI framework/toolkit.
- andybak 14y agoWhich works nicely alongside Boilerplate: initializr.com
- whalesalad 14y agoHTML5 Boilerplate has been around a lot longer than Bootstrap and has been adopted by more in the general front-end community. Whereas Bootstrap has been adopted by more generalist developers building entire web applications.
- nimbupani 14y agoBootstrap is a very good friend of Boilerplate.
- Francisc 14y agoThey are different beasts. Learn your stuff before saying stuff like this.
- SkyMarshal 14y agoYou can have both: http://initializr.com http://initializr.com
- tzaman 14y agoOne would think there's not much left to be done when it comes to the boilerplate, but these guys prove there is.
- monsterix 14y agoSplendid work guys, but I am still unhappy that you guys closed the Google group around it. Will check out the updates shortly.
- risratorn 14y agoThe suggestion to use Stackoverflow as support channel is a good decision imho
- vesln 14y agoI think it's pretty neat as well.
- hockeybias 14y agoGood news!
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoDoesn't that mean you can't garner opinions or ask slightly open questions though?
- illicium 14y agoBring back the hot pink selection background color!
- lukifer 14y agoDon't even joke about that. Ugh.
- printer 14y agoMaybe it needs a little more work. I've got a "Unhandled DOMException: SYNTAX_ERR" in jQuery. And "plugins.js" and "main.js" are loaded twice. Also: I'm on Opera and get a lot of CSS errors. Some are strange: "-o-opacity is an unknown property".
- necolas 14y agoThe jQuery-related error seems to be an upstream bug - http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1513672 http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1513672 I don't see plugins.js and main.js loading twice. And that CSS warning can only come from other tabs you had open as we don't include any `-o-` prefixed code in the CSS.
- dmethvin 14y agoI think these are all Opera quirks. It is saying there are unhandled exceptions when all the ones it identified are inside a try/catch. It looks the -o- warnings are coming from the internal feature detects that we use in jQuery 1.8, we really can't avoid those without browser sniffing.
- quarterto 14y agoLet's have a moment's silence for our dear departed friend, #fe57a1.
- pwenzel 14y agoI'm sad to see it go.
- gulbrandr 14y agoI beg your pardon?
- tvon 14y agoIt's the pink color that used to be used for selection.
- masklinn 14y agoOne interesting feature of html boilerplate was that, in its CSS, it set the background color of selected text to #fe57a1 (hot pink). For the longest time, it was a pretty easy way to identify an HB-based site as many developers didn't customize text selection. It also looked rather neat. For some reason, they've removed it in v4.
- sutterbomb 14y agoFirst thing I noticed. Very sad.
- rolmos 14y agoI've actually brought it back on my downloaded copy; it's a color that never clashes with text colors I assign, and stands out pretty well.
- nulluk 14y agoGlad to see this stripped right back down again to a useful state, it started to get very verbose & noisey
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoWhat does Google Analytics have to do with html5?
- Jgrubb 14y agoIt's boilerplate. It's sensible to assume that sites might use GA, and their snippet is more optimized than the stock one Google gives you, IIRC. It's not difficult to delete.
- andyjohnson0 14y agoThe framework allows you to build html5-based sites that can be instrumented for google analytics.
- binarydreams 14y agoNice work on the new site design, really clean and neat!
- pjmo 14y agoVery nice, will have to check this out for the project I'm starting today. Sick of using Bootstrap to demo when I usually change everything. Just need some boilerplate instead.
- override 14y agoGreat work Nicolas and team!
- gilini 14y agoWithout getting into code changes, I'm glad to see they abandoned that childish theme the whole project had. Gratz on the release
- agscala 14y agoI love this project. It's everything that I'll never remember on my own and more.
- wzhack 14y agoAre there some famous projects that I can see concrete examples of use of this this project? This seems pretty cool but I still couldn't get it.
- th 14y agoYou usually won't know a web page is actually using H5BP, especially without looking at the source. Two websites using it: http://creativecommons.org/ http://creativecommons.org/, http://www.barackobama.com/ http://www.barackobama.com/
- masklinn 14y ago> You usually won't know a web page is actually using H5BP, especially without looking at the source. One of the ways to know, before the new release which sadly kills it, was that many sites didn't customize the default hot pink text-selection background color. Select text and get hot pink? You knew it was the boilerplate.
- commanderkeen08 14y ago#fe57a1. always made me smile
- lobo_tuerto 14y agoRight from the frontpage (check the links over there): "Who uses HTML5 Boilerplate? Google, Microsoft, NASA, Nike, Barack Obama, Mercedes-Benz, ITV News, BAE Systems, Creative Commons, Australia Post, Entertainment Weekly, Racing Green, and many more."
- calvin 14y agoWhen will the changelog be updated? https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/wiki/changelog https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/wiki/changelog
- SkyMarshal 14y agoThere's also Yeoman in the works, which appears to be a more ambitious H5BP, but by the same people: http://yeoman.io/ http://yeoman.io/
