Responsive? sounds nice.

This is built on bootstrap, and includes the responsive css. Throw everything in a container-fluid.

yes but the collapsing features are not applicable i.e. navbars won't collapse or elements won't auto hide, etc.

Really nice. I get a very Soviet feel from it. Bright colors, round corners, very monumental.

Re: maintainability... does this add to bootstrap, or do you use their modified copy of it?

This is add-on, which modify bootstrap default skin. So if your site is on bootstrap - you can easily change design in one line of code. But we change not each elements, only defaults. More features will be in pro version.

These are nice, but I wish they hadn't picked the exact same shade of green as Layer Vault ( https://layervault.com/ )…

FlatStrap -- http://littlesparkvt.com/flatstrap/

It's exactly what you think it is.

If I saw the unchecked checkbox without a nearby checked one for comparison, I don't think I would know what it is. The solid fill strays a little too much from the paradigm.

Other than that, beautiful design.

Flat Strap is good but it lacks with components

Very neat. Couple of nitpicks with the toggle controls though. The animation looks kind of weird here. Instead of sliding the visible "knob" from one end to the other, it animates the "knob" entirely away and brings in a second "knob" that represents the other state. This feels extremely bizarre to me. Also, double-clicking a toggle control selects part of the page.

The toggle button also suffers from the ambiguity common to many of these controls. The default image for 'on' is a dark background, where 'off' is a light background. Because there's no indicator whether 'on' is the current state or the action, this can be quite confusing.
