Bulma: Bootstrap to Bulma converter?

[Bobbbay]

Not much of an issue, more of a question.

Just a thought - wouldn't it be better for pretty much everybody if there was an official Bootstrap to Bulma converter?

Issues:

• Is it even Legal?
• What would happen to things that are in Bootstrap but not in Bulma?

I personally believe that this would be a great idea. I don't think making a converter is illegal. And if there isn't support for the item, there should be an error message somwhere, maybe even accompanied by a link to post a new issue on Github?

What do you think, @jgthms? Thanks!

what is the main purpose of doing so ?
if the design is implemented in such a framework why bother to try to migrate to another one ? I think you would want that only if the other option offer more scalability , I wont invest time and effort to migrate to other framework just to migrate

In my opinion, Bulma has a bunch of features that Bootstrap doesn't, and also has a much simpler design.

Again, I'm not sure if this is a good idea is not, which is why I opened it up as an issue. All criticism is welcome.

Thanks!

I don't think this is within the realm of the project itself for the dev to take time to build a converter.

Also, with websites, there are so many things to look out for, that unless the user of such a converter stuck to strict vanilla Bootstrap, something would be missed. There is a big difference between bootstrap and bulma, so the code wouldn't know where exactly to put specific custom classes or ids.

Not saying it's not possible, but it's A LOOOOOT of work for something that isn't really worthwhile. If you want to switch frameworks for one reason or another, you're going to have to rebuild.

Alright, if nobody else is going to state their opinion, then I'll close this issue for now. Feel free to re-open it if you would like to work on this idea.

This is a brilliant idea and also one much needed.

There are so many good bootstrap templates there. It will be good they could be just used.
