In 2010, Twitter engineers Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton faced a problem. Each team at Twitter was using different libraries and styles, which made the user interface look inconsistent.
To solve this, they built an internal toolkit that allowed all developers to follow a single design system. Initially, it was called Twitter Blueprint, but later it was renamed to Bootstrap.
On August 19, 2011, Bootstrap was released as an open-source project on GitHub. From that moment, it quickly became one of the most popular frameworks among developers worldwide.
