He said "the CSS is actually pretty good" referencing the dashboard as having been well made within the confines of the CSS language. He never said CSS itself was good ;)
Yes, that's what I'm asking about. How do you tell if a site's CSS is good or not? Looked like any other CSS to me but obviously it's not since it was commented on specifically.
Thank you, it was written with SASS, but we are still working at some pieces that will let the user customize the dashboard, so we will release the SASS soon.
Have you considered playing with 4.0 alpha - hate for you to have to completley rebuild it if it is an active project in a few months when 4.0 of Bootstrap goes live.
We didn't play with 4.0 alpha yet, we wait for the official release so we will not work twice to offer support for BS4. There will be 100% a BS4 version on all our items.
This is a freebie, so you can use it for your personal projects or for clients projects for free, without paying for a license, it comes with Personal and Developer license by default.
There will be also a PRO version which will be more complex with more customizations options and the final user will have to pay something to get it.
Looks great! I've noticed one thing that bugs me immediatly, though: The animations of the navbar dropdowns are way to bouncy / slow.
Since dashboards are work and productivity oriented, I personally prefer as little animation as possible, since they (in this case unnecessarily) delay the time to navigate the menu.
Nothing against animations in general. They are nice to hide or ease loading times, etc.
Thats funny, I totally agree with your sentiment about frilly animations -- but for some reason the bouncing nav bar dropdown made me happy in this situation.
This is a freebie, so you can use it for your personal projects or for clients projects for free, without paying for a license, it comes with Personal and Developer license by default. But you cannot use it for a SaaS application where the final user has to pay to use it.

It already looks fantastic. I'd version the releases so that people can pick any they want. I'll probably almost always stick to this one because you made it very simple yet feature rich.
Looks very nice. I'd shrink the left-right margins and padding on mobile, though. About 25% of horizontal real estate is lost, which could be used for more detail in the content.
This is a great dashboard tool. Thanks for making it. I think I may use it in the future.
Since you asked for ideas... I have one. It would be great if there was section that allowed the user to customize their dashboard view with a drag and drop page editor. Maybe they could select a template for the layout of the widgets on their homepage. Then they could move around the widgets to different sections in the template. They could drag other ones on to the template if they wanted a different report to show on their dashboard. Kinda like what the wordpress page builder does. http://antonibotev.com/themes/roki/wp-content/uploads/2013/0...

[ 3.0 ms ] story [ 112 ms ] threadDid you write the css by hand, or did you use a preprocessor? I downloaded the code and can only see the css files.
Also you should put this on Github so others can help out with it :)
Not saying it isn't but how do you measure this?
Looks great by the way!

Is this theme free for commercial use?

None the less, awesome work! Really beautiful dashboard.

Here's a pet peeve of mine though: why isn't the entire surface area of the tasks clickable? I'm horrible at precisely targeting checkboxes.
It would be really cool if there could be some sort of integration with a drageable widgets lib, a la http://gridster.net/.
We are still working on the SASS version to be in stable mode and push it.
