The Birth of the Shoelace Bootstrap Grid Builder
A while ago, I got this idea to create a Bootstrap grid builder called Shoelace (open it up and follow along!) that is super simple, easy to use, and didn’t try to be a WYSIWYG tool at all. In fact, the opposite. It had 3 purposes – to build the grid HTML, to show you how it will work and change responsively, and teach you how it works by making it impossible to make broken or non-conforming grids. You can’t build your own pages with it, and once you build a grid and use it, you’d have to go back and sort of figure out how your grid relates to the original. It’s not mean to be a build tool – it’s an abstraction and learning tool that can show and create the core of what you’re looking for; a solid, bog-standard Bootstrap responsive grid.
