This looks very nice.

As a primarily backend guy I appreciate all the work people do on this stuff a lot (even if I don't use it I often refer to it for both inspiration and ideas on how to do stuff).

Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: For example I'm already "borrowing" the colours from the notification dialogs, they look much nicer than the stock ones :).

How many of those do we need?

Law of building - anything easy to make will be made over and over again. Anything difficult to make will be made once and complained about forever.

Seems true at first, but then shouldn't text editors be difficult?

.list-group-item warning has color #ffbf21, background-color #ffce54. This is almost impossible to read.

Also, I'm not sure SPAN is a requirement for the .active element in a .breadcrumb, but your .breadcrumb-arrow requires one.

I think your constructive criticism has more chance of being heard at the github repo:

Another flat CSS theme for bootstrap? How many minutes did that take you? The layout on the site does look nice though.

http://flathemes.com/ is your main website, it has a link to download version 1.0.1 (even though github says version 2.0.0 is the latest), then when I click download it says that I have to Like with Facebook or Twitter to download my "free gift" of your BootFlat theme, that rubs me the wrong way.

Same thing here, though in the moment I'm having a hard time finding U[I|X] solutions/patterns for the webapp I'm designing, which is much harder than a theme (for me). In the sense that "now, this is organized from a database point of view, how do I make users consume and interact with it?"...

(Just looking at Facebook blows my mind when you start realizing how many tiny patterns they have for displaying more information on the screen. Things like "Jack and 13 more like your link" w/ click to expand)

http://bootsnipp.com/ is nice, doesn't have everything but can speed up prototyping dramatically.

What do you mean? There are tons of text editors.
