This is nice and your other products are really nice. Was thinking of doing semantic ui for my next project but this will do. Pre-sale question if I want to resell a final product on envato will the developer license do (that is if i dont attach the source materials for the themes).

Also what License is suitable for an open source project?

Personal preference but does anyone else not like material design concepts?

I initially really liked material because it seemed nice and clean but the animations have gotten out of hand, IMO, particularly when used on desktop. Is there a non/less-animated version?

As with anything, I think material design can be done right or wrong. I don't like completely flat designs, and I don't like actionable objects that aren't immediately apparent as actionable. I do, however, like the overall look, as long as the functionality is done right.

One of my peeves is that it's sometimes hard to create business dashboards with high information density, since a lot of the material frameworks love their padding out of the box.

If they do it in CSS, I bet you can remove the animations by setting the animationduration property to 0 seconds.

Or if you want to aggravate users, override it so that each animation takes 10seconds. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, you're right, the legal stuff sucks. We wanted to make it as simple as possible and not have 100 pages terms and conditions. We will try to make that more clear so people can understand that if they get this product for Free can be used by how many devs they have, in how many products they want. Our business is to create good looking products that speed-up the development for web developers and not to go after p…

Please stop wasting potential customer's time by offering a great looking, professional-grade product with a horrible, non-professional license. I'd love to use your templates in my business. The pricing is on the high end of what I'd pay but not so high that I'd walk away. But I have to walk away,I can't allow myself to waste any more time looking at your site because the license is an absolute deal breaker. License…

Thank you for the detailed explanation. We have over 1 million users who checked our resources, 97.000+ web developers are using them in 150.000+ projects and this is the first time when somebody is not happy with our licensing options. We will see what we can do in this area.

I dislike it a lot, and I'm otherwise mostly unopinionated about design. I think it has poor usability. It takes me a long time to process the odd placement of things like a "New/Create" button and the animations annoy me and feel distracting.
