What is a UI Kit? In regards to Bootstrap, is it fundamentally the same as a theme or a template?
It's really not clear to me from the site or any of these comments.

#42THIS. LOOKS. AWESOME!
Love it.
Especially for people like me, that still uses stick figures for everything.
I am missing only a couple of things. Styling data tables so it is consistent and select2 for the drop downs.

#43Re: Now UI Kit – A Bootstrap 4 UI kit
#44Question about how these UI Kits are made: Generally when I'm building a UI on top of bootstrap, I import all the LESS files into my project, and then compile them together with my project LESS files. This lets me, for example, change the brand-primary color, or the base font size, etc, without having to override every component that might use that variable. However, this UI Kit, as well as a number of other kits I'v…

#45Lots of layout issues on my iphone such as the nagivation close button not centering. Bootstrap 4 switched to a global font size from 14px to 16px. This seems to be rendering a 12px font for buttons and such on my iphone. Overall element sizes seem small. https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/migration/#global-changes
Yeah I'm having trouble understanding why you release this or even use it in production when the underlying framework behind it isn't fully-baked yet? I've been messing around with the alpha bootstrap and there are a number of issues, the beta version should be launching soon: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/milestones

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't understand it either, and HN's response is equally puzzling. When I initially reported yay there's a decent license I got showered with upvotes. Now that I've added an edit to say actually no the license is still terrible I'm getting showered with downvotes. It's not my fault the license is terrible and we've already had tons of people chime in previously to complain about the terrible "license" for these gre…
Your edits being on top is a little confusing, but still.. HN is a fickle bunch.
Agreed, normally I'd put the edit at the bottom but I didn't want people to see my enthusiasm and jump out of the comment before getting to the no wait it's not that at all correction.

I would call that a bootstrap theme.

#49Hi guys, here is Alex, one of the creators of this UI Kit. It was built based on the NOW UI made by Invision: https://www.invisionapp.com/now and we released it under MIT License: https://github.com/creativetimofficial/now-ui-kit so you can use it without any issues for commercial projects or personal websites. If you have any feedback, suggestions or issues please let us know. I would be glad to talk in comments. Be…
It has a lot of potential but as many others have pointed out - usability is not very good. On certain screens you won't even see the placeholders in the text boxes. Heck, even on a Macbook Pro Retina it's hard to see, and those have really good screens. Apart from that, some of it looks pretty good, but there's tons of this kind of stuff out there already.
Thank you for the feedback. We will take it into consideration for the next v1.1.0 update.

#50Contrast is clearly suboptimal. Lots of multigrey use in controls and noncontrasting colors in colored items. This would not go past our UX team.
Thank you for pointing that out, we will do the necessary changes for a better contrast in the next v1.1.0 release.
