congrats! love this, sometimes i get a huge huge history after 4-5 hours for working, and it is reseting. That's not a problem, what i actually want is a way to "bookmark" some of the informations that are relevant. And reaply them. Are you working on something like this?
Congrats for building this. I've seen many builders and Drag & Drop tools in the ecosystem in the past months but this one seems to be pretty simple and intuitive. I like that it doesn't have too many options to edit any action/button/CSS properties as that is usually over-complicating the builders.
I've read the comments on the PH launch and it seems you are on the right track. Also happy to see you added Argon and Admin Kit as the first starters.
From a design perspective this looks really good, I like the components, the typography, the generated pages from Figma etc. Also the documentation seems to be clean and user-friendly. It's way better than most of the docs.
So I think this is a really good extension that can speed up the development process of people who like Tailwind. For those who don't like Tailwind, there are many other alternatives. There is no such thing that can fit for everybody.
Some questions
1. What did you use to create the docs?
2. What are your next steps with this project?
That's right, it's part of the strategy but it's not generating revenue if you think of this from the marketing perspective. If we take into consideration the amount that we made based on the traffic that we got from these articles, it will be around 0.2% of the general revenue in 1 year (~2.000$ of $1M). Me, as the co-founder, I've spent many weeks planning, writing and gathering information to write these articles.
Even if it is 10$/hour, and a template is 40$, you will spend more than 4 hours just to choose colors/fonts and design ideas. Then you will spend days/weeks to plan, implement and test on tens of devices (phones, tablets, tvs, desktops etc).
The Bootstrap Templates are just 1 part of what we deliver. We also have React, Vue, Angular, Laravel, React Native, Node.js, Photoshop, Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD in our products lists. So if you take into consideration an agency who will deliver for his client a website + web app and they buy a "React + React Native + Sketch" combo from us and pay let's say 150$, that will be over 5.000$ for them if they have to build it from scratch. Also don't forget that we spend many months on building and testing our products on many devices (phones, tablets, tvs, desktops etc) Hope this makes sense.
Yep, there is no right answer in this. In our case, a partnership where we built something together or on top of a framework is working very good for us, as we create new products. So we have 2 options, we either work on new products from scratch or we partner to create something better. Don't know if Paul Graham talked about this way of working, I think he was thinking of partnership = "a big enterprise said something about you". Hope I understand right his tweets.
Thank you for the feedback, glad that you see this useful. I agree that Figma is getting better and better, that's why we started to work with it. Please check this link: https://www.figma.com/file/bvQEB3MNOzDx5KrBWLZmmIre/Material... and let me know if it is fine.
@Flavius, our Material Kit React is built on top of Material-UI so it's basically the same thing at the core base, we just give more examples and people spend less time creating a page or a dashboard like this https://www.creative-tim.com/product/material-dashboard-reac....
It isn't a good or a bad thing, it's just another design system, where you have some rules. We didn't like Material Design either, that's why we took it and made it more user-friendly. The basic idea is that you can take this UI Kit and start playing with some variables to change colors/shadows/typography and create something new, but you don't have to create the whole system from 0. It will save you a lot of time.
Hi, thank you for the kind words and congrats for the product. If you do it open source we can let our users know about it, maybe somebody can use it. We should keep in touch as we are working on some email templates that will also be release under MIT license. Ping me at [email protected] :D
Congrats for the launch, there are a lot of resources there, gonna check them soon. I have one question about the build of the community, I see this in the footer "powered by Airstack" and this link to Github https://github.com/ThemesGuide/airstack", but on that repo isn't anything. Is that something open source that we can use to create some similar communities/lists? Thank you!
Looks really nice, I really love the way you start with colors -> fonts -> styles -> icons. I've never seen this way of creating a UI Kit before. Congrats!
