Hi guys, I am thinking of creating the same CouchCart template, but without the Bootstrap framework. Maybe to use some lightweight framework like Toast CSS, or no framework at all.

I already used CouchCart in the past on real projects, but I would really like to have it as cleaner and leaner as possible, so that modifications are done easily. I will of course share it with here on forum.

I believe that would make the whole process of using the template as a starting point much easier, because Bootstrap styles clash with other styles, if one is not using Bootstrap as the preferred framework.

I am willing to do it, but if anyone has maybe made it already for their own purposes, and is willing to share, that would be great. And it would save me some time, haha ;)
Hi Mirko,

CouchCart is basically just a set of Couch tags.
The whole idea is to use these tags in your own custom cart designs.

The template that you mention is just a sample implementation (and a very simple one at that) - although, I agree, many people using CouchCart tend to use this template 'as-is' on their sites (or with minimal modifications).

Anyways, since people do seem to prefer using something ready-made for the Cart, I think it's a good idea to create a really bare-bones implementation with minimal dependencies.

Would be interesting to see what you come up with :)
Do share it with us.
The only Bootstrap component in that template is the modal script (bootstrap.js) and its styles (bootstrap.css)...

The easiest way to achieve a clean starting point is to remove all of the JavaScript and CSS. You would then certainly have a blank slate to style to your heart's content.
