Just some somewhat-constructive feedback: It's always a pet peeve of mine to see the default bootstrap theme on new web apps. It doesn't take a lot of effort to customize it and doing so goes a long way to provide a sense of authority about your application.

I know it doesn't seem like that big of a deal (and for all I know, I could be alone with this sentiment) but it makes a world of difference for me.

That being said -- this looks awesome and I look forward to getting some consulting work to try it out.




Doesn't bother me in the least.

Bootstrap offers sane defaults and presents users with a familiar experience.

If my choices are color/design decisions made by someone who's specialty is something else, or just vanilla bootstrap, I'd encourage the latter.


I agree.


FWIW, it's not entirely default bootstrap - that's the simplex theme, I think. Hrm... no ref to that in the source, and maybe it's been changed since your post. it's 99% default, but looks good enough to get rolling with. I used the 'flatly' theme for http://appliedto.com, which was 'default bootstrap but a free theme' and it's been fine for the people I've showed it to so far, but may eventually spruce things up a bit more.


Water under the bridge here. I think the author has bigger fish to fry: Absence of a logo and a descriptive <title> are bigger issues if we're talking branding.


I agree. I think your comment was constructive.
