Back then, <a href="https://dev.to/vickilanger/no-conferences-no-stickers-joo">Vicki wrote about it</a>.</p> <p>It's been two years or so, but, not much happened to the site. It just... went along, with every now and then me getting an email for a sticker request, or an error from Sentry.</p> <p>One thing about the site however, has bothered me from the start. Entirely inline with my frontend skills, the site looked... Questionable.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3naq80up705k4ef29rd4.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3naq80up705k4ef29rd4.png" alt="I mean...

LOOK AT IT!</em></p> <p>Thankfully, finally, after 2 years, a friend of mine has started working on a Bootstrap based standard theme for the framework I used for stickertrade.me (It's Silverstripe, if you're curious).</p> <p>So, I finally got out my ~awesome~ awful frontend skills, and redesigned the whole thing using only bootstrap and bootstrap elements.</p> <p>I'm not saying I'm the new thing when it comes to frontend, but... it is a lot better!</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fuqzvmdbz5h2tsyc4rd3d.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fuqzvmdbz5h2tsyc4rd3d.png" alt="Screenshot of the new version of stickertrade.me" width="800" height="420"></a><em>Not that the bar was set very high by the original design...</em></p> <p>So, if you are stuck at home, or unable to go to a conference to exchange stickers...
