This is gorgeous! Always wanted a collection of these. Thanks
- catchmeifyoucan 8y ago
  I did wish there was a Github link to see the code. I wanted to check if there was a theming option
  - dotancohen 8y ago
    In fact, the only way to download the code seems to log in with a Facebook, Twitter, or Google account. I don't have either a Facebook nor Twitter account, and I certainly will not use my Google account for this. Yes, I know what OAuth is, and it is still a firm NO.

      sucks for you. It's a free service -- so it's your loss.
      - jpoesen 8y ago
        Nothing's free in life. In this case you pay with your social details. Ultimately everyone decides for themselves whether they find the price acceptable or not.

      I get your apprehension, and, in fact, I up-voted you, but I'm not sure what better, "frictionless" way to get verified email address? The only plausible alternative would be to send out an email with a download link in it, but that "costs" the designer an email credit, real money, or potentially extra development time vs just shipping with an out of the box multi-auth component built into some web framework.

        Why do you need the downloader's email address? Perhaps I don't understand your goal: are you trying to collect email addresses to build a marketing list, or are you trying to give stuff away for free? Sorry if these are dumb questions: the website doesn't really explain the business model (if there is one), or if this done out of the goodness of one's heart. I imagine you want people to try a free template and then ask for your services to customize it? Is that how it works?
        jermaustin1 8y ago
        I'm guessing since they have a contact us and are probably a design agency, they are giving away free designs to "startups" so that they can build their list of potential clients they can contact later to do branding and design work.
        kohanz 8y ago
        Yes. It's called a lead magnet. I have no issue giving my (business) e-mail to get such beautifully designed templates for free. There's at least $100 of value on those sites. If they start sending e-mails not relevant to me, I can simply unsubscribe.

        jermaustin1 8y ago
        You would have to give permission to the application to see your contacts.
    - spreadstreet 8y ago
      Yes, because unsubscribing or filtering an e-mail is significantly more difficult than hand-coding these templates...seriously, it's an e-mail address dude. OP - really good stuff. I hope you do extremely well.
      - dotancohen 8y ago
        They are not asking for my email address. They want me to log in using a Facebook, Twitter, or Google account. That means that they potentially get access to my contacts and other personal data. Yes, I know that I can review the permission. But I don't know what bug, exploits, permission changes, or mistakes will be made. I don't want to worry about that. If they want an email address, I'll happily provide one. But I will not "log in" to their services.

        Just create a throwaway Twitter account. Won’t take you more time then explaining your unwillingness to hand over your email here.

    here's one of them I just put on gitHub to play with.. https://github.com/adamlaz/temp-Ava https://github.com/adamlaz/temp-Ava

Amazing stuff - free templates are usually not design this well
oliverx0 8y ago
These are beautiful. Will be using it for my next launch

Very unusual name - does "Cruip" mean something significant in a language other than English?
gitgud 8y ago
Very nice, so they're pure html and css? Not complaining, just interested
- nulagrithom 8y ago
  Complaining? Sounds more like a feature to me. :)
- sunsetMurk 8y ago
  there's some js too. and scss to compile css. I just threw one on github if you want to take a look here: https://github.com/adamlaz/temp-Ava https://github.com/adamlaz/temp-Ava

These are great! Are you just doing this to be nice? Or what's your strategy with this?
- atwebb 8y ago
  If I had to guess it would be exposure for custom work: >Need a website or a custom landing page for your startup? CONTACT US

Great source of inspiration also to make your own one!

Thank you :) Really nice designs.
intruder 8y ago
These are stunning. Reminds me of stripe's website.
sandGorgon 8y ago
It would be so cool if these templates were built using a static generator - especially Reactjs/Gatsbyjs. Cutting these templates into React is hard.
- sunsetMurk 8y ago
  yes - I may convert one to jekyll or hugo next few days if I have time. These look great and code is clean.
  - sandGorgon 8y ago
    you should really try gatsbyjs . The v2 version is blazingly fast. And its all react.

Another gallery template for startups https://www.lapa.ninja/ https://www.lapa.ninja/

These are great! I feel bad asking because they are free, but it would be great if you had the set of landing/beta/pre-launch/startup etc. all with the same theme. I'm starting up a project and it would be great to be able to keep the same look and feel through the product growth.

For a moment there I thought the social sign-ins were going to be a pay-with-a-tweet[1] type setup, but they only exist as a stepping stone to download the assets. It would be a great growth hack for the service if people had to tweet about the templates in order to download them. Also - no option for signing up with an email account. I don't have a Google, or Facebook account, and even if I did, I would still be reluctant to use those accounts to interact with third party websites (I would however use my e-mail to download the assets).
