Comparing and contrasting Bulma and Bootstrap

I haven’t been shy in the past about how I have really prefer Bulma over Bootstrap.  I wanted to use this week’s post to compare and contrast the two and hopefully reset my opinion of Bootstrap.  So, how am I going to do that?  I am going to create a webform using Bulma and then …

Three ways to create a modal dialog

Today, we are going to look at three ways to add a modal dialog to your app.  The first option just uses CSS and JavaScript (no special libraries).  The second option uses Bootstrap (a topic that I haven’t touched in a few years).  The third and final option uses Bulma.  I looked back at my …

Playing with Vue Router

Back in July, we looked at how Vue CLI and webpack work and I figured that it was time to look at Vue Router, as a follow-up.  Vue Router is going to be pretty necessary for the state parks app, moving forward. Like I did last time, I used VueCLI and Bulma.  I also put …

Fixing JWS.app: The “Superfeed” (Part 1)

One of the goals for JWS.app was for it to pull in activity from a bunch of sources and update itself.  That is the reason why I created the “superfeed”.  Let’s start by looking at its current state. See the Pen JWS.app – Superfeed (Before) by Joe Steinbring (@steinbring) on CodePen. Getting the content from …

Fixing JWS.app: Turning our attention to the footer

I have never been fond of the footer on JWS.app but I’ve been unsure what to use, there. After addressing the elements at the top of the page, it makes sense to turn our attention to the very bottom of the page.  Considering how much we have leveraged Bulma so far, it also makes sense …

Fixing JWS.app: Styling the content on the page

Previously, we have looked at the navigation bar, the hero image, and the combination of the two.  I figured that next natural step is to look at how to style the content on the page.  I want to add some sort of visually pleasing container and Bulma‘s box class seems to be a good option. …

Fixing JWS.app: What if we merged the nav bar with the hero image?

Previously, we looked at using Bulma to improve the nav bar and we looked at ways we could improve the hero image.  I figured that this week, we would combine the two. See the Pen JWS.app – Hero with Nav by Joe Steinbring (@steinbring) on CodePen. I kind of like this look but the nav …

Fixing JWS.app: The Nav Bar (Part 2)

Last week, we looked at two ways to fix the nav on JWS.app.  For the first option, we simply added an additional header that displays when the screen width gets narrow enough.  For the second option, we introduced a hamburger menu.  This week, let’s look at two new options. The first of this week’s options …
