We can allow people to make themes for Bootstrap which depend on the original Bootstrap app. Those themes can be used out-of-the-box by non-technical people.

We can also help you to manage the version of Bootstrap you're using to make it easier to keep your site up-to-date.

Including Bootstrap now though is more of an example of the breadth of what can be included using Eager, rather than a specific suggestion. I agree that it's not particularly practical to include it directly in it's current form, but many of our other apps can be used directly with great success.

As much as I'd love to build something for developers by developers, the purpose of Eager right now is to help developers get their code to non-technical people. So the question might be not how to add Bootstrap to your site, but how can you build an Eager app on top of Bootstrap to make it accessible to others.

Thanks for the response. (And responding throughout this thread, too.) I see the point in using this for dependencies, and there are other apps like Google Analytics that have minimal configuration to use.
