       | For the longest time, I really want to know how to make SF start

       | Bootstrap,SASS, React tutorial, none of them show example how to
       | make site like

       | > forhim.com: font, color, images > scale.com: smart shapes they
       | use for info graphics, color gradient choice > vanta.com: colors
       | to entire structure...

         | scale.com. Bonus that it's easy to host on GitHub for free.

       | You just need to pay once and you will get Readyui's unlimited
       | access for lifetime
       | 
       | However:

       | 
       | So which one is it? One time purchase or a subscription?

       | 
       | I'll give you the same feedback as I gave the chakra UI people in
       | regards to the commercial use policy: Be explicit on whether
       | redistribution in form of on-prem products is ok or not, it's
       | unclear (to me) in the current messaging. Best to explicitly call
       | out, something like "use in your SaaS and on-prem product as well
       | as internal systems".

       | While not trying to take away anything from the efforts of OP, I

       | save the "kitchen sink" page for snippets with bootstrap and use
       | those to build the equivalent UI's. The messaging around this is
       | all mixed. One time purchase but then says subscription. I won't
       | be using this as I'm not the intended audience I feel. It's easy
       | for me to just build a form or layout with bootstrap or ui-kit or
       | _name-your-css-framework_ with their included examples. Sometimes
       | I've even bought a complete theme package off of sites like
       | themeforest for the same price. Kudos to them though for trying
       | to make it more accessible to new devs if that was their intent.

         | I believe it's a problem people believe all open source has to
         | be free. And this includes businesses who think open-sourcing
         | something necessarily means giving it away. In fact it is
         | totally OK to ship an entirely commercial (one-time purchase or
         | subscription) product together with its source code but license
         | it the way people won't be legally allowed to distribute forks
         | nor use it without paying. For users this is still better than
         | no-source because good source code is of great value as a form
         | of documentation at least.

           | That sort of arrangement is generally referred to as "source
           | available" rather than "open source". The ability to fork and
           | redistribute I think is typically considered a core aspect of
           | open source.
           | 
           | And this product is presumably already source available since
           | it consists of source code for you to integrate into your own
           | projects.
        
           | gabereiser wrote:
           | I totally agree with you. My comment on it being "open
           | source" was meant as more of an open code model with
           | donations and contributions kinda thing. I can take
           | bootstrap, or ui-kit, or whatever and build what I want with
           | it. I can donate back. Source via paywall isn't that helpful
           | in this case as any "component" is easily created and styled
           | by someone who has skills in html/css/js. As I mentioned, I
           | sometimes will buy entire themes from sites that give me not
           | only style but common components I can just implement. I'm
           | not adverse to this, but to simply take away the theme and
           | just provide components, to me, isn't worth the paywall.

       | Feedback: the scroll position of the linked page jumps around

       | pop-in or something else, between that and the "white flash"
       | effect when I loaded the page, I closed the tab from motion
       | discomfort.
       | 
       | The blocks look good, but I couldn't keep the page open. I
