Show HN: Appster – Free Bootstrap 4 App Landing Page Template
- viach 9y agoGreat and useful work. Bootstrap 4 is still in beta, do you plan to continue support, taking into a count possible api changes?
- attacomsian 9y agoGlad, you like it. Yes, I will upgrade it to Bootstrap 4 once it is released.
- geekamongus 9y agoJust a quick grammar tip: "A beautiful screen capturing app you can trust on" should say "you can trust" or "you can rely on." For that matter, I'd probably refer to it as a "screen capture app" instead of a "screen capturing app."
- attacomsian 9y agoYes. You're right. Didn't pay much attention as it was supposed to be a dummy text.
- cube00 9y agoThis is exactly why you need to use Lorem Ipsum otherwise visitors spend their time focusing on the text (I was trying to work out if it was a theme or an app you were pushing)
- attacomsian 9y agoI'll replace the text with Lorem Ipsum.
- adtac 9y agoI can't load the webpage; is it down for anyone else? Google cache returns 404.
- attacomsian 9y agoServer crashes... ! Just restarted. it is live again.
- adtac 9y agoCheers, it's back up again.
- onion2k 9y agoThere are a few places that don't look great if you look at the demo on mobile. There's too much padding on the bottom of the header nav, the app store logos don't have any margins, and the 'Unlimited Features' title is right up against the image of the phone.
- attacomsian 9y agoThank you for the feedback. I'll fix soon.
- yaseer 9y agoUnfortunately this is down for me again
- attacomsian 9y agoI'm sorry for the trouble. i just upgraded the server.
- yaseer 9y agoNo problem and thanks for the work - this is useful!
- mrwnmonm 9y agoThis is on the front page, Seriously?
- ankyth27 9y agoYou may want to add default margins to some elements. On mobiles the buttons, images etc. are overlapping.
- attacomsian 9y agoI'll fix. Thank you for the feedback.
- Cronkan 9y agoWhy use alpha when the beta of Bootstrap 4 is out?
- attacomsian 9y agoBeta is released few days ago. I built Appster a couple of weeks ago but released it today. Will update it to Bootstrap 4 once it is available.
- danvoell 9y agoWhat theme is wiredots built on?
- attacomsian 9y agoIt is Built on Wired UI kit (a Bootstrap 4 UI kit). I'll release it for FREE in coming weeks ;)
- tolgahanuzun 9y agoThe app is nice for the promotional site. It is light and beautiful.
- attacomsian 9y agoGlad, you like it ;)
- rendall 9y agoBeautiful work!
- attacomsian 9y agothank you.
- attacomsian 9y agoWow, Appster is downloaded 210+ times in just 3 hours. I didn't anticipate this. It was a fun project I created while learning Bootstrap 4 but it turned out a useful app landing page. I would love to see how you are using it. Just send me a tweet at https://twitter.com/attacomsian https://twitter.com/attacomsian
- gvx 9y agoIt looks very nice. By the way, why didn't you make a landing page for Appster with Appster?
- ijustdontcare 9y agoTotal requests: 30 Size: 1.149,02 KB Transferred Size: 539,24 KB Time: 6,53 seconds That's on a wired 50 megabit connection, I don't want to know the load time on mobile. Good job on an overblown landing page! Related thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15031814 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15031814
- rayalez 9y agoPlease be respectful of other people's work. The same criticism could have been framed in a much less toxic manner. The author has clearly put a lot of work into this, and theres a lot more good things to say about it than there are flaws. For example, it looks beautiful, will certainly help many people, and I, personally, will be happy to learn from it and use in my own future projects. Even though page size can be improved, author did a great job, and I don't want him to be discouraged by your nitpicking. So don't be a dick.
- attacomsian 9y agoHey, thank you. Glad, you like it. I agree with you on page size/load time. It is just a demo landing page and not a final product. There are plenty of ways to improve the page metrics.
- codefined 9y agoSince the actual size is tiny, tried using webpack to combine some of the resources. Saved ~40% of that size with minification and dead code removal, and saving that many requests meant that it takes a tenth of the time to load. Might recommend you try it too for releases, as a lot of people might not know how & will use this as is.
- rayalez 9y agoAwesome work, thanks for sharing! Bookmarked it, should come in handy when I'm building my next landing page =)
- aleksandrm 9y agoBootstrap templates are Show HN material now?
- hackNightly 9y agoBootstrap templates require a non-trivial amount of work. Why should they not be?
