Jetstrap - The Bootstrap Interface Builder. Maybe check it out - with this you can design Bootstrap sites in their structure without having to fiddle with the CSS yourself. The output can then be used as a basis for your own website. Looks quite nice.

X11-Basic Homepage. And since I'm on the topic of Basic - X11 Basic is a GFA Basic clone that has many extensions and runs on all possible systems. Among other things, there is also an Android version - although on my Galaxy Nexus the font is no longer elderly-compatible and on the Nexus 7 I'm considering reaching for a magnifying glass. With this Basic, however, it's more about being able to maintain old habits rather than really working with the new systems - the Android specifics are quite manageable.

RFO BASIC! for Android. Fun system to play interactively with Android stuff - and especially to do that on the go. Basically a souped-up Basic with support for various Android sensors and access to all kinds of system services (e.g. SQLite), so you can really do a lot with it. Basic programs can even be converted into APKs that can be distributed as standalone apps. This brings back the feeling of programmable calculators from the 80s - amateur programs, but self-made hacks and tools.
