I had some very insignificant ad revenue on my hot rod blog, but it was to the tune of two or three dollars each month... :) I do enjoy writing but I am more looking for something with recurring revenue, that I can improve and iterate on.

Thanks for reminding me that there is more to money making than just products and services!

It might be, but he has a point, you don't have to build a service or product to make money. On the other hand, in his case, his product is his content.

Interesting thought.

Demo site: http://hillfold.com/ Sorry for the delay... I honestly never expected this much interest!

Here you go: http://hillfold.com/

I just tossed one up at a new domain... it'll likely change so check the github site for the latest. Without further ado: http://hillfold.com/

Exactly! :)

There's alot of stuff I did in this whipped together version that you shouldn't do! :) If you think this is something to take as-is and use, you're sorrowfully mistaken! :) I just wanted to give people a shortcut to start using Bootstrap 3 on wORDpRESS... er, I mean WordPress (sorry about that... touchy people... sheesh!) :)

Ok, all snarky responses aside, you're absolutely right on your points. The way I look at it is, I have six hours into it, realized it might be useful for others, and have alot of the tough parts out of the way. I am not selling it, so if it rubs you the wrong way, say your piece, and move along. This is not for you, right now.

I hadn't heard of Roots before, and obviously didn't find it in my searching. Looking at the site, you might want to make it clear what versions of both WordPress and Bootstrap you are using... I believe I was searching on something like "Wordpress bootstrap 3 theme", and it didn't show up.

Take care man, and keep doing what you're doing... it looks solid!

Shame on me... thanks for pointing that out, I'll try to get some time to figure out what license I can use.

Yeah... I'm building a site for a BBQ Sauce company, and when I went looking for a wordpress/bootstrap3 theme to start with... nada. So, enjoy the chicken and ribs photos for now... I'll try to put up a demo site shortly. :)

Hey guys, thanks for the response! This was just meant to be a starting point for anyone working on getting bootstrap 3 to work. It's not an end-all be-all, use it as-is theme. I just realized after a bunch of hours of fighting through and figuring out stuff, that this might help some others.

You have great points about the (horrible lack of) code structure. Sue me. Fix it yourself! :) Kidding aside, literally I have about six hours into this, and thought it might be helpful to others.

I really stuck it on github more so that my buddies could use it, than for general consumption... it was just a whim to stick in on here.

I'll pop up a demo site in the next day or two... client work takes a priority. If I had expected to get as much traffic as I am, I would have put it up already... sorry about that!

As for the licensing... I'm not up on it, and shame on me for that... I guess I'll have to do some reading about GPL vs MIT... I just know that I tend to use MIT in the past. Thank you for pointing that out... stay tuned.

Congrats Play team! You really have a winning framework on your hands! Coming from a Java background, it was easy to learn; I was able to launch a dynamic MVP in three days on heroku (shameful plug): carsparkapp.com

It keeps getting better with each release, and as more plugins are written. The docs are really clear, and the community is thriving. Very good stuff!

I've switched from app engine to heroku. Even if you can get past the vendor lock in, carefully review the limitations: file-size, collection size, etc. They may have good reasons for these, but I spent more time working/thinking around these than I expected.

I AppEngine is a great platform for getting an app off the ground, and for a POC... but beyond that I wouldn't recommend it.
