Good Bootstrap prototyping tool?
Added by Mark Travis about 2 years ago
Anyone have a favorite bootstrap 5 prototyping tool?
I've found a few that do basic pages. Shuffle.dev seems interesting. However, I haven't found one that will let me drag-and-drop some of the advanced features that Wt is capable of. Like charts, scatter-plots, tables, etc.
It would be great to find a tool that I could prototype a web page, then copy the sections into the files.
Thanks!

Hey,
I am using BoostrapStudio https://bootstrapstudio.io/
I have bought a License for it though...
There is a drag and drop utility and you can create your own templates as well as using predefined ones.
This helps me get the general layout and then I need to put in the variables I use for the widgets to bind to.
Used it since Bootstrap 3 and it's got updates for Bootstrap 4 and 5 including some designed templates.

Thanks Christian! I'll look at that. I went ahead and ponied up $99 for the shuffle.dev tool. It's pretty good, but I wish it had a better library of drag-drop native widgets at the elemental level. Instead, they give you full-featured widgets such as toolbars with icons and decorations, then you have to edit the code to add/delete what you need.
And don't forget to add the closing "/" to tags that are generated. 😊

Christian, thanks!! I just signed up for a lifetime subscription for bootstrapstudio.io. That is exactly what I was looking for.
For what we do, it's much better than shuffle.dev.
