Overview

LeatherGittip is an ideal framework for developers looking to streamline the integration of Devise and Bootstrap 3 into their Rails applications. It provides a comprehensive setup that enhances the design process by offering a customizable UI Kit and a set of elegant Devise views. Users can hit the ground running with pre-built Bootstrap components, simplifying the workflow and saving valuable development time.

This toolkit is particularly beneficial for developers who want to create responsive and visually appealing applications without diving deep into Bootstrap's documentation or markup. By automating many of the repetitive aspects of UI design, LeatherGittip allows developers to focus more on functionality than on the nitty-gritty of styling.

  • Partial Components: LeatherGittip includes a set of partials for frequently-used Bootstrap components like modals, reducing the need to reference external resources for code snippets.
