Glad you liked it! If you click on the title of each theme, it takes you to a detail page, where each screenshot has a link hover on top of it. Is this what you wanted? Anything else we can improve?

Tempting indeed, and would be a radical service: Rotten Tomato for Themes. I really like the idea, and will discuss it with the team. Can be a test for one of our sprints.

Thank you zupa-hu! We had the same problem ourselves and this was to solve our own pain points. Say, I was working on an admin backend, and then forgot where I've seen a card element. Normally, you have to go again through all the sub-

can you elaborate more? what do you think would be a killer feature of the platform that would make you use it each time?

This is the default sorting on the homepage, based on sales, and some other features. Definitely needs testing and improvements to give user the best theme matching their needs. Nobody has time to crawl thousands of themes.

Funny you'd say that. I also dislike the latest trend of what we joke as *Wordpress Themes: The New Operating Systems of the Web". So bloated and so slow. One of those boring days I actually tried that. Since we parse every page w

Thank you for your feedback! Featured and Popular and Newest use different indices, so each time one is selected the filter is reseted. We'll try find a way around it in near future.

Yes. When we were doing pre-project work we looked at the growth statistics of all the marketplaces, what kind of themes gets downloaded, if there is pattern, and which prices are they likely to succeed. There, of course, you see the number

We have already the possibility of intervening automated algorithms and adding custom screenshots, so if we allow theme authors to claim their themes they can add those close-ups themselves, which would be an obvious next step. However, tod

You have touched the point that made this project more than just another curated list of themes website built on wordpress and required a full team of top engineers and designers. From one side we have users that want to find the right th

Indeed, I was spending 15 min minimum for each theme, and then there are themes like Bridge that has 200 different style sub-themes (or demos), where each can be used actually for any website. So, who has time to go through all? This is w

Thank you! by the way we curate themes by hand and add tags to it, to make it searchable as well. Of course, today's release is a beta release to get feedback from the community, but afterwards we plan to add more searchable content, e

Totally feel what you are saying Phil, and specially since we wanted to use the website ourselves we knew we had to find a better way. The problem with infinite scroll is the user RAM, which quickly fills when we add more and more themes, a

Thank you! We are currently hooking into ThemeForest, WrapBootstrap, TemplateMonster and several individual free theme providers. After this beta release, we are planning to add top houses like ElegantThemes as well. One of the main points,

Nevertheless, one should be very careful with unescaped queries like that in nginx. There is a reason frameworks exists around such topics.

I'm planning to do something like this workflow most probably reinventing the wheel along software history: - Every release is already tagged, and merged into master (git-flow). - There is a post-commit hook to backup the database with

Nice approach! "reload" was a nice touch to learn. What I miss usually are two parts of deploys that are often ignored, and are critical in production environments: 1. Revert/rollback to older versions. We're humans and
