I found my eyes kept trying to focus the image - especially the A - and I felt a visceral frustration when they couldn't do it.

It's like the feeling I get when I see one of those faces with two sets of eyes ( http://www.illusionspoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/fun... ).

Ouch! Exactly.

Looks ok, but I feel this one is by far the cleanest, usable and extendable. https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/detail-admin-responsive-them...

i don't think so. Plus: I HATE TEMPLATE MARKETPLACES. They are starting to ridiculously rip developers off with their fees. Wrapbootstrap can legally steal up to 75% (seventy five percent) of the earned amount. Making a developer earn 25% (twenty five percent) of a product that he ENTIRELY made and market (created images, advertising material, etc.). It's freaking ridiculous.

That's not accurate. 75% is the maximum commission for sellers with 55% being the starting rate. 35% is the minimum and applies to themes sold non-exclusively.

Still sounds quite a lot for doing "the marketplace job" which in the case of wrapbootstrap is allowing a developer to simply sell with paypal.

A minimum of 35% (due to exclusivity) and a maximum of 75% to have a "buy with paypal" button. Now it's more accurate...but still sounds like ripping developers off to me. (that's, obviously, why HTML5 Admin is not listed there or themeforest or whatever)

Well, Suppose we want a web based UI for editing an email compaign to promoting an app of yours For campaign: title, content, etc. For recipients: you have to design something like Django's admin inline, user name, email, maybe facebook/twitter id. Here a simple demo for inlines: http://admin:admin@demo.xadmin.io/host/hostgroup/add/ from the project https://github.com/sshwsfc/django-xadmin which is basically Django o…

Great insight. I suppose such extensive admins require a really specific UI to be usable, and can only be solved on a case-by-case basis, while maintaining a constant feedback from the front-end user and the back-end data provider. Generic templates usually need both a visually attractive UI and easy-to-configure widgets to be marketable and sold. But it's worth trying developing a more intricate and data-focused int…

whenever you have your product ready: if you're thinking about selling it and if you want to try to avoid losing a big % because of marketplace fees...you can get in touch with me (info@html5admin.com) :)

really? 20EUR to save you -at least- 1 week of work or a paid professional guy to help you out with HTML/CSS/JS while you focus on back-end code? Seems reasonable to me.

That's one thing that has always bugged me about some developers. Some have the attitude that they should never pay for anything, and that "I could code this in a few days myself" instead of paying $20 and have it implemented in an hour.

Well, one problem is that you never really get it implemented in an hour. If I buy this, then I have to go through this massive design, figure out how they're doing things and figure out how it fits in my coded implementation and then go through an actually wire up all the code that I already have in place to actually make these templates work.

I'm really just trading one week of development time for one week of implementation time. Will the end product look prettier? For some people, sure. But for others, it's a massive leap of faith. And since I have no free entry point to wire things up with without first dropping the cash (in Euros, what is that in real money? ;) ), it's a huge barrier to entry.

I was about to go and grab this for a project I'm working on. The interface is clean and nice and I really like it. But since I can't evaluate it with my actual production codebase, it's a nonstarter. In a world with millions of free templates (of varying quality), one paid template is a big deal.

But you are right. I'll drop thousands of dollars on things that WILL make me slightly more productive as a developer. But I won't drop $20 on something that MIGHT potentially make me more productive.

you've clearly ripped off themes from wrapbootstrap http://wrapbootstrap.com/ identical icons, graphs, colors, animations.

he/she didn't rip them off. they just used the same libraries. font-awesome/glyphicons for icons, flot for graphs, etc.

thanks brndn

Here's a screen shot. http://sdrv.ms/16sGL2Z I'm using FF24. When turning off box shadow or opacity the handles show fine. I have a feeling it could be a rendering issue with the GPU?

Yep. I just switched off GPU acceleration restarted FF and it now renders fine.

good to know.

If you build it, they won't necessarily come. Marketplaces provide a channel for discovery.

I've tried many beautiful admin templates, all of them are visually nice, quite suitable for integrating as dashboards and "read-only" panels. But very few of them actually tries to solve the "hard" problem: how to transform "rational" row based data into read-writable web forms. Server-side & client side interactions, validations, cascading events, descriptive forms, etc. Given two or three slightly sophisticated m2…

That's because, functionally, that sort of interaction does not belong on a dashboard. Dashboards are meant to succinctly summarize what's going on under the hood. "Bakery 47 is running low on cinnamon rolls" && "Coffee shop on Main is your #1 seller this week" - Rolling up your sleeves and manipulating that data is best done in a bespoke screen/view.
