It seems to solve a very similar problem to Angular UI's bootstrap project: http://angular-ui.github.com/bootstrap/

Definitely similar problems, but in a somewhat different way. This library looks more featured than Angular UI Bootstrap, though in mostly small ways.

The popovers allowing external templates and custom scopes is one example, and the inclusion of navbars, date and time pickers instead of pagination, accordions and carousels is another.

If it works, I'd say I like it more than Angular UI's version, which is probably simpler to get up and running but something that you'd run into the limits of more quickly.

Yup. I guess the differenece is no dependency on angular-UI and it cuts straight to the bootstrap part.

UI Bootstrap does not depend on AngularUI. It's just a set of Bootstrap directives built by the AngularUI team.

The main difference between the two seems to be how they handle templates. UI Bootstrap has a set of default templates that can be overwritten, whereas AngularStrap doesn't. AngularStrap also includes date/time picker directives.

I don't believe ui.bootstrap actually depends on angular-ui, the project is just rolled into angular-ui's brand/github org. They could probably be more clear about that.

All three of them (angular-ui, ui.bootstrap, angular-strap) have been a pleasure to work with.

You are right, this project has _zero_ dependency on any other external JavaScript code. Those are native AngularJS directives.

ah, thank you for the correction.
