why is there a back button right below my browser's back button?

Sorry, but a frontend framework that claims to be responsive, but then has a demo that breaks down completely when resizing the browser is not really convincing to me.

Idea is good, but implementation feels...unfinished to say the least.

You should really take the time to polish this first. That incorrectly scaled screenshot on the first page was enough for me to dismiss this.

I'm a fan of the metro look in general, clean and simple. It can work as a web framework, and this one does a pretty good job of it. A few things of note: 1) The hover effect over the colored blocks feels odd, almost like the default blue border around image links. 2) ListViews seem under-styled with poor spacing. Perhaps this is intended 3) The ApplicationBar is pretty sharp 4) The text-color on all the button style…

  1) The hover effect over the colored blocks feels odd, almost like the default
     blue border around image links.

Also, the ones above the features section are clickable while the ones below it are not, but they are styled the same way. I had to spend some clicks to figure it out.

Great idea, this can be a very useful project. Needs some polishing, though. For instance, the icons need anti-aliasing and some are clipped at the borders.

Interesting. Just curious, can this can ignite the patent trolls? Say I use a more polished version this to build the next viral site - what are the chances to be dragged to court?

Awesome! I've been waiting for this for so long; I even wanted to make it myself. Does this work with default bootstrap HTML?

Keep up the good work, I'm definitely going to use this.

Out of curiosity, how does Metro look to color blind people?

also I find it ironic that it doesn't work well on Windows Phone
