Bootstrap 5

• Good for responsive layout design across devices using the Grid System.
• Comes with a lot of built-in components such as Modals, Spinners, Hamburger Menus etc
• Most members in the team will be more familiar with Bootstrap than any other framework / library.
• Bootstrap 5 no longer has jQuery so no bloated libraries

UIKit

• Lightweight - load times?
• Also has it's Grid System for responsive layouts
• Tons of components that are similar to Bootstrap.
• Offers different designs to Bootstrap - most projects in the hackathon may use Bootstrap and therefore may all look similar.

Tailwind

• More Heavyweight than others - more assets to load but access to more components and utilities
• No default theme with Tailwind therefore better customisation allowed
• Most people probably not experienced in Tailwind but that offers a chance to learn a new, cutting-edge tech

Bulma

• Advertised as "easier" than other frameworks.
• Self-resizing grid-system = less work to make responsive
• No JS
• Syntax is a lot more human readable compared to others.
  E.g To create a column you simply use the .column class whereas in Bootstrap you're defining col- and then a size.
