## What it is
Bootswatch is a collection of free, open-source themes for the Bootstrap CSS framework, available as pre-compiled CSS, Sass files, via CDN, npm, or Ruby gem. It offers dozens of ready-made looks (e.g., Darkly, Flatly, Cosmo) that can be swapped in by replacing Bootstrap's stylesheet or imported for further customization.

## Use cases
- quickly restyle a Bootstrap website with a new theme
- add a dark mode theme like Darkly to a Bootstrap app
- customize Bootstrap colors and fonts via Sass variables
- import Bootstrap themes into a React app with npm
- serve Bootstrap themes from a CDN without building assets

## When to choose
- your project already uses Bootstrap and you want a polished look without design work
- you want Sass-based theming with variable overrides
- you need multiple switchable themes or RTL support

## When to avoid
- you don't use Bootstrap as your CSS framework
- you need a fully custom, bespoke design system
- you use Tailwind CSS or another utility-first framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: css-framework, ui-components, theme
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: bootstrap-themes, sass, cdn, npm-package, dark-mode, web-server, nodejs
