Hey, I've been using bootstrap in my last project and I think it rules! +1 for the idea!

I'm a bit concerned that it's 'this weeks hotness', and that interest
is going to fizzle over time. Also, I think that people are pretty
quickly going to get tired of seeing 'another bootstrap site'.

That said, it would most certainly be an improvement on what we have
now. I'd love for us to get a really good designer contribute a
design concept across the whole app, but I don't see that happening
any time soon.

So, I'd tentatively say go for it, but maybe leave the main story view
page alone, so just apply it to the login page and sundry other pages
across the app. I'd like to handle the story view page carefully and
separately to the rest of the app.

Hi!

I have worked with bootstrap before and if it is planned to have a fluid/flexible layout, that's not the best path. If we keep this in mind, it becomes a shortcut to creating an interface compatible with mobiles and tablets.

I really like the columns view, couldn't imagine something better to show this amount of tasks in a single page, divided by  time and priority. It is the closest to a kanban that I've ever seen. By the way.. having a design that remembers a kanban with user stories wouln't be helpful?

Something like: http://scrumblr.ca/test ?

I'd eventually like the layout to be adaptive based on device width, so
once the device width gets down to mobile level then only one column is
displayed at a time, and each column can be accessed from a tab or
select list.

Fulcrum is not really a kanban tool. There is too much behaviour tied
into each column. https://trello.com/ is probably a good app to look at
if you're looking for configurable columns without any implied
behaviour in each column. It isn't FLOSS though, and like Pivotal
Tracker it's starting life as a free service ... for now.
