Migrating Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.2 to 3.0
For those of us who are starting to look into Twitter Bootstrap 3.0 for new projects and possible migration of old projects from Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.2 to 3.0, I found a couple of good resources. Firstly, this very brief StackOverflow discussion on what has changed between the versions. And secondly, this really nice migration guide.
If only there was an automation tool that works for me… A few were mentioned in this StackOverflow discussion, but none did anything sensible on my projects. I guess I’ll have to roll out my own, or use some manual labour in combination with powerful search-and-replace tools.
CSS Colorguard – keep a watchful eye on your CSS colors
CSS Colorguard – keep a watchful eye on your CSS colors.
Here is a better description from the README:
Every CSS project starts out with good intentions, but inevitably, one too many people eye-dropper colors into nooks and crannies that you never knew existed. CSS Colorguard helps you maintain the color set that you want, and warns you when colors you’ve added are too similar to ones that already exist. Naturally, it’s all configurable to your tastes.
And here is my favorite part:
Colorguard uses the CIEDE2000 algorithm to determine the similarity of each of the colors in your CSS file. This algorithm is quite complex, but is used in the broadcasting community as the best approximation of human ability to discern differences in color. RGB on the other hand, is pretty bad at representing differences in color purely based on the numerical difference of the hex values.
Luckily, someone else already implemented CIEDE2000, so I didn’t have to. Tight. Cause this thing is mathy as hell.
