Re: Bootstrap and Django together at last!

Hello Artem,

  There are no requirements but Django, and my blog post is essentially the README file:
http://www.pythondiary.com/blog/May.25,2013/django-bootstrap-theme-ready.html

  After looking at the packages you provided below, here is my assessment on why I created my own based on what these existing ones do.  I have used Django bootstrap apps/themes/etc in the past and I literally hated them all.  They didn't do what I wanted, or required too much work to get working.  My Django app is just that, an app!  Place it in your goddamn INSTALLED_APPS and your done!  I've included an example project to show just how easy it is to use compared to existing solutions I have seen.

django-modern-template:  The project layout it creates adds a lot of extra files, why isn't this an app, why did the developer make it an entire project?  I may use it, if I could easily integrate it into existing projects.

django-bootstrap-template:  This one comes with it's own "project layout".  I want something that uses Django as is, not something that I need to use an entirely new project layout for.  This package also doesn't include Djangofied(is that a real word?) bootstrap example templates to get a project up and running very super quickly:
http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/getting-started.html#examples

In contrast to my new package, it includes every single bootstrap example template turned into a "proper" Django template, which can easily be extended.  Check out the example project...

django-twitter-bootstrap:  This is better than the previous one, but still doesn't include any templates, it merely bundles all the static files into a Django app... Not much effort or thought on the developers when putting this together.

django-bootstrapped:  I have used this one in the past, I attempted to love it... But again, it's missing some key features, such as the bootstrap example templates for a quick start.

  This is why most people create their own solution because existing solutions don't seem to do what they want out of the box.  It is entirely your choice which one of these bootstrap packages you use, I'm not going to force you to use any particular package.  This is why open source is great, because we as developers have something called "choice".

Best Regards,
  Kevin Veroneau
