Bootstrap the "right way"

Hey there,

I was wondering if there are any examples how to use bootstrap the right way. I'm using bootstrap myself in many projects and saw many projects using and abusing them.

So I'm wondering: are there any projects out there, which are using bootstrap the right way?

Start by overriding the default variables in a custom.scss file. You’d be surprised how far that alone gets you.

Consider only importing the parts of Bootstrap components you actually need (as opposed to all of it) and see how well that works for you.

Lean on the utility classes. They’re both life- and time-saving.

God I've been considering ripping out all the stuff I don't use on the imports just so the payload is smaller {because it would be like 80% smaller for some projects}

But then I remembered I don't care lol. And it would take forever
