Bootstrap 4 Alpha Release

Written by Joshua Lim

Designmodo has a quick overview of what to expect in Bootstrap 4. My initial thoughts:

Moving from Less to Sass. Crap, now I gotta learn Sass and set up my development environment to support it.
Grid System based on ems instead of pixels. Nice.
Dropped support for IE8. OK, whatever…
Dropped Glyphicons. Uh… please announce a replacement.
Optional Flexbox. Yesssssss…
Cards as a new component. Nice.

My biggest gripe is easily having to switch to Sass. Ah well, I’ll live.
