After learning about Entity Reference, I've been thinking that maybe I can use Drupal to build a replacement to the old-and-crufty inventory webapp that I wrote for work over 15 years ago. This could give us a lot of advantages, like Active Directory integration, role based permissions, and being able to add images to model descriptions or damage reports.
I am working to visualize the data with tables, charts, and graphs on our site. The problem I'm facing is that I have 5 databases with lots of raw data. To create these visualizations I will need to organize the raw data. Sometimes I'll need to pull pieces of data from different databases and combine them data into one table or graph. To create the visualizations I'll also need to filter the raw data by date, location, etc.
I've been coding sites locally with Bootstrap outside of Drupal. Once I have the site at a point that I deem to be complete (visually behaving how I want), I then setup a localhost Drupal 8 build and start 'twigging' things together in conjunction with my Bootstrap ready css.
One thing I keep noticing within my Drupal builds is that I have to add "float:left;" to my .col css.
Bootstrap (pre-Drupal) behaves correctly without me having to do that, but once inside the Drupal environment I have to specify it in my custon .css in order for it to work correctly.
