Looks great! Someone should make these into react components :)

#52"Free?" what the heck is a Creative Tim license?
That is the license that we give to our users. As an overview, you can use this product for your personal projects, startups or for a client. What you cannot do is to get this product and resell it/post it anywhere as your own created product. This is what we want to protect. That's it. Please let me know if I can help with other information.
I am not a lawyer.
That's pretty much what copyright does. However, copyright laws vary among countries. Also, like copyright a license is only as meaningful to the extent someone is willing to lawyer up and enforce it.
If I use it for a client, I've passed the client a risk because the license is non-standard. One reason for selecting a standard license is to just avoid the distraction of creating a non-standard one.
Good luck.

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.
Given the number of questions on this HN page about licensing I think it's a mistake to conclude my comment is the first time someone wasn't happy with your licensing (And people who pay for software tend to be the same people who care about licensing, so the fraction who care about licensing is likely to be a much higher fraction of potential paying customers than simply x/1.000.000)
How about just offering it for sale on envato under their licensing. Yes, you give up a bit of revenue because they take a cut but you don't have to pay a lawyer to draft a license for you, and you can still offer it on your own page under your own non-professionally-drafted license at the same time if you really want to do that too.

#54Honest question from a non-web dev. Are these things actually used for real working websites? Are there any examples other than landing pages and blog posts?
One of the things that keeps me from using a web platform on my projects is that I don't want to have to worry about aesthetics. With good ole Windows, I drop some controls and buttons into a designer and I know it is going to look pretty good and be obviously functional to all users. I don't have time to place individual lines and worry about the alignment of shading and curves. Projects like Bootstrap interest me because they offer a way for me to focus on function rather than looks, however I never seem them in action for something substantial. Say, a financial accounts manager.
Are there projects out there using these templates for such purposes?

Quick side note. Does anyone else notice the startling lack of information density on these pages. Compare it to hacker news. You have to scroll the window to see the introductory text. That's insane.

Lack of exact licensing terms may make any legal dept (or just copyright-conscious individual) wary. The table at /license doesn't count - there are no definitions and without those some rows are really odd, like "multiple developers" restriction (who counts as a "developer"? does the "personal" license forbid two computer-savvy persons making a website? or, say, what if I code the page myself but then call someone f…
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…
Custom licences are icky. I suspect many devs will prefer to go for something inferior than to risk money sink of a lawsuit that will hypothetically arise sometime in the future due to a silly misunderstanding of licensing terms.

These tools: bootstrap, material, etc. seem to be exactly what you need. They make sure your style is consistent and looks good without too much work. You can then configure the framework to make it look unique to your application. My impression is these frameworks are used all over the place in production, they are just customized so you might not recognize them. The last three companies I’ve worked at, one used angular material, one used bootstrap, and one had a custom css framework. The later had a tendency to build internal frameworks instead of new product and is suffering the consequences.

Using something like this can save hours and win a client over (shallow souls) on some basic web internal business app.

We're using Bootstrap for our site, Podium: https://podium.live. It was a great way to get started, we had a decent looking app for a while, then once we could hire a designer we were able to modify where needed. It really does make a difference.
Re: Show HN: Material Kit – Free Bootstrap UI Kit Based on Material Design
#60Looks amazing - great work! This might be something I can use for a new SaaS I'm doing. Is there a "dashboard" type page? And something with Tables/graphs etc?
At this moment we are working on Material Dashboard. It will come in the next weeks and it will be for Free having all the basic elements that you need to create a Dashboard (tables, charts, maps, forms etc). Then there will also be a Premium version for that with more components and customization. But the Free version will be enough for most of the cases. It will be something like another dashboard that we created:…
Any chance there will be a version without the usage of jQuery?
