I’ve wanted to redesign the blog slightly for a while and thought I’d couple this rewrite with learning a new css framework called Bulma.css.
The good
- It’ was quite easy to get going, and I like some of the nice header styles that comes with the framework.
- It’s also an easy transition from Bootstrap as it follows a similar philosophy.
The bad
- No utility classes for simple padding and margin tweaks.
- No JavaScript components for common features like modals, navbars etc.
- The require heirachy of
.container,.contentandsectionis a bit unintuitive to me.
Conclusion
I’m not entirely sold on the framework yet, though it has been a pleasent experience working with it for a few hours.
I’m still iterating on the design, but thought it better to ship it as is than leave it to rot in a git branch. You can see the old design here.
