If you have any feedback, ideas or suggestions please write them here, so we will implement them in future updates.

Looks great! I've noticed one thing that bugs me immediatly, though: The animations of the navbar dropdowns are way to bouncy / slow.

Since dashboards are work and productivity oriented, I personally prefer as little animation as possible, since they (in this case unnecessarily) delay the time to navigate the menu.

Nothing against animations in general. They are nice to hide or ease loading times, etc.

This looks really nice and the CSS is actually pretty good!

Did you write the css by hand, or did you use a preprocessor? I downloaded the code and can only see the css files.

Also you should put this on Github so others can help out with it :)

Very nice! I'd love to see this go in the direction of TODO app, where you have implementations of this design with various backends.

How much is the developer license? I couldn't find it on your website. Thanks!

Looks great by the way!

Looks great!

Is this theme free for commercial use?

I'm no UI expert, but the colors seem too bright for a dashboard, which usually people stare at for a good amount of time
[+] axelut|10 years ago|reply
Very good point, we will think about it, there will be also an option to reduce the brightness of the colors.

This is a great dashboard tool. Thanks for making it. I think I may use it in the future.

Since you asked for ideas... I have one. It would be great if there was section that allowed the user to customize their dashboard view with a drag and drop page editor. Maybe they could select a template for the layout of the widgets on their homepage. Then they could move around the widgets to different sections in the template. They could drag other ones on to the template if they wanted a different report to show on their dashboard. Kinda like what the wordpress page builder does. http://antonibotev.com/themes/roki/wp-content/uploads/2013/0...

That sounds good, we will test the HTML5 Drag & Drop feature to see how far we can go with it.

Looks very nice. I'd shrink the left-right margins and padding on mobile, though. About 25% of horizontal real estate is lost, which could be used for more detail in the content.
[+] axelut|10 years ago|reply
Good point! We will shrink them

Awesome work, but what about a source repository?

I didn't look at the code yet but the demo look great.

It would be really cool if there could be some sort of integration with a drageable widgets lib, a la http://gridster.net/.

[+] axelut|10 years ago|reply
Wow! That is cool, it will definitely be a feature, we saw that there were many requests for this kind of drag & drop items.

Nicely done! Looking forward to checking it out on github :)
[+] concise_unicorn|10 years ago|reply
Awesome stuff!

Here's a pet peeve of mine though: why isn't the entire surface area of the tasks clickable? I'm horrible at precisely targeting checkboxes.

[+] vblord|10 years ago|reply
Yes, I agree. When you click the text next to the checkbox, the checkbox should toggle.

This looks really nice! I've been looking for an easily implemented Bootstrap-based dashboard for my small business. This is terrific!
[+] skamoen|10 years ago|reply
Looking really good, and I was just looking for something like this. Thanks for sharing!
