- ruuda 6y agoThanks, I’m flattered to see it be used as inspiration :) I searched quickly but I didn’t find that repository. You might want to link it somewhere in your footer or from a comment in the html.
- napolux 6y agoSure, no problem
- apolymath 6y agoFlattered that your few, boring lines of CSS and HTML (that could easily be reproduced by a monkey) was used on someone else's website?

- archon810 6y agoToxic comments have no place on HN. Thank you for policing them so diligently.
- DJBunnies 6y agoThat isn't how you hacker news.
- asveikau 6y agoSounds like yes, they are flattered for exactly that. And it's totally ok. There exists small joys in life, like being flattered for something that other people might not think are much of a big deal. I guess that's one reason why something may be called flattering in the first place, if they didn't see it as being all that much in their own eyes, but somebody else appreciates it.
- hirako2000 6y agoAnd it's a beautiful lightweight theme.
- not_a_moth 6y agoAm inexperienced in the technicals of this, is "taking inspiration" from someone else's website grounds for a copyright or gpl violation? When I've worked with designers it usually starts "pick a site that inspires you", where the deliverable has resemblance.
- dspillett 6y agoThe distinction can be difficult to make, but I think it is relatively clear here. I'm "reading between the lines" here so could be wrong, but "looks like your site is using a theme based on" implies to me that there is enough code (markup, styles, perhaps script) similarly that is enough to not be pure coincidence. That suggests using some of the code not just being inspired to produce a clean-room design, so the GPL is relevant.
