If I have a dynamic number of items in my navbar, or if those items happen to be longer than the current width of the page, the navbar should either:

A: Fold the items that won't fit into a menu, *the same way that the mobile UI does*.
B: Ellipsize the text.

I'm thinking that A is a much better idea. But either way, if you have low h-res, bootstrap navbars can be quite cumbersome.
