I'm the Facebooker maintaining this tool. We use it internally and externally and it represents a "platform application". It runs on a separate domain (www.fbrell.com) and is iframed on the linked page on facebook.com.

It's all open source actually: https://github.com/daaku/rell.

Even better, it's written in Go :)

On a more general note, is anyone else tired of seeing "X uses Y" posts? It feels more and more that, in the Valley, namedropping is a way to ensure your own relevance, whether you're a business or a landing page or a person, and I'm getting tired of these appeals to popularity.

"X - the Y for something" is even more annoying. Example from first page: "EasyPost - the Stripe for postage"

While I understand the annoyance, how else could you convey what "the Stripe for postage" says in such a short, succinct way?

"EasyPost - A well-designed postage API"?

I'm pretty much 100% sure Facebook is not name-dropping Twitter.

Yeah, but OP is.

I can't say I understand what point the OP is trying to make, but I don't think it's what you're implying.

Funny that not even Facebook devs bothered to change the colours to use the FB brand blue. Twitter Bootstrap slowly becomes synonym to "basic unstyled webpage".

hnriot14 anni fa

it looks like they have to me? The header bar is using #333333 just like facebook.com does.

If "basic unstyled webpage" is now bootstrap, then the world is a better place.

The top bar and the left side is still from Facebook, Bootstrap is used within an iframe that's actually the whole main column.

Sigh. So fucking what, that facebook uses bootstrap.

I think it's a big thing for Bootstrap as a project and for its creators and contributors when their work is used by giants like Facebook & co.

It's a Twitter project, it's not like bootstrap isn't being used by "giants" already.

creativityhurts14 anni fa

I meant other giants besides the company that helped creating it.

I just got a good laugh out of it, and thought others might too. It's certainly not meant to be a bash at Facebook.

Big deal. Facebook uses a lot of JS and CSS from all over the place. Not sure why this is a big deal.

FYI: Facebook has open sourced this tool, you can find it on github. Here's the commit that added Bootstrap: https://github.com/daaku/rell/commit/64bd62d40df54ddc08a9270...

This reminded me of https://github.com/ckrack/fbootstrapp. Too bad development stopped.
