It's not the greatest thing ever, and my CSS skills are pretty crap, but I thought I'd share this. Any pointers on what license to use (the most open one?), or feedback on the html/css are very welcome. There are some comments in the file, it's just 1 file. Also, links to other similar starter templates welcome. If someone wants to put this on Github, feel free :) I haven't figured out Git just yet :(

And you should get the credit for your work. 1. Go to GitHub.com, click sign up. 2. Click "Create a free account" on the top 3. Give the usual stuff. 4. I forget where exactly it is, but click "new repository" 5. type in the name, click 'create' 6. They'll give you the list of commands you need to run to push everything up. It's very simple. 7. You're done!

  Here is a git repo for the project: https://github.com/tzmartin/Googly-App-Template https://github.com/tzmartin/Googly-App-Template I assumed you wanted a BSD license. If not, ping me and I'll update it. Thanks for contributing this to the community.

Great job! The open source community needs more free/open source app templates.

Could you please add an introductory write-up ? I am assuming that this has something to do with Google App engine , of which I know little. Your post could be a great starting point if you could elaborate upon your idea a wee bit more.

  It's a UI template for creating Google-like apps (ie, Gmail). Not directly related to Google App engine.
- petervandijck 16y ago
  It's just a simple UI template, to make it a little easier to start coding apps that have that overall look. It's far from advanced in any way. The HTML comments have a little more information.

Am I the only one to find it funny that it's based on YUI grid? :) Seriously though, thanks for sharing.
- petervandijck 16y ago
  Yes, that is a little ironic. Yahoo really did a great thing with YUI.

Also interesting: http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/goog/demos/index.html http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/goog... They even have Google's CSS3 buttons in there.

Ha! I was about to go put together yet another layout like this. Thanks a bunch!

  Feel free to share improvements :) My CSS is really not that good.
