This is such a silly comment. If people can't show their opinions of things, whats the point of even having HN. I didn't realise that everyone had to love everything posted on this site.

I think it's a question of the tone with which he "didn't love." There's a difference between: "Another flat CSS theme for bootstrap? How many minutes did that take you?" and "There have been a number of flat CSS themes presented on this site, so I find it hard for any one of them to really distinguish themselves. Have you considered [the idea that OP thinks is better or more original or more useful]? --- The reason…

Reason #1 for the harsh tone was the requirement of a social media Like before the download.

Reason #2 was that I was disappointed that a CSS file with a few colors changed passes as an HN article these days.

Humility is a valuable lesson to learn. I see no reason to lie to the person and pretend that they provide any real value to anyone actually using Bootstrap.

The point of trying is not to show off, it should be for self-growth. If the article said, "this is my first project as a web-developer, what do you think", then I would have been much more polite, instead this guy just wants as many Facebook likes as possible so that he can eventually make money off of you.

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 inform…

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

that's an awesome site, wonder if there is anything more like it

Yes. Ionicons is released under the MIT license, which (AFAICT though IANAL) does not contain any attribution condition.

You have to include the original copyright notice. However, because of the Github templates, a lot of people don't fill in the copyright details. So in those cases derivatives are free to not attribute.

Thanks, missed that they failed to follow other parts of the license. That changes things quite a bit..

I've used bootflat for a previous project, prior to bootstrap 3, but have since switched. It looks great, but it's just a slight modification in colour scheme now, whereas before it was a huge difference. Bootstrap's hosted on a CDN too, which is nice.

Hmm, that was a bit confusing. It's not clear what your prepositions "it" are referring to.

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 :).

=== Just FYI... after opening this link, === and in short succession this nearby one: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7404618 ("HTML is almost 100% responsive out of the box (fluidity.sexy)"), something sent my Firefox browser and then my entire Galaxy Tab 8.9 (which has been functioning pretty flawlessly for 3+ years) into an unstable state.

I may have to root/wipe it now... :( I can't prove that it was caused by either this or the other link, but the coincidence is troubling... who checks these HN submissions for malware anyway?

Did the page change in the past 15 hours? You can download the theme as a zip[0] without any social bullshit, or install using bower.

Yes, yes it did. Possibly because of my comment. Either way, good job on the changes OP.

Arrgh, does this not bother anyone else? http://imgur.com/X9kZZ5w There's more space below the text than there is to the sides or above, because there's a bottom margin on the paragraph within the popover and that gets added to the padding within the popover.
