Ask HN: Open source web app html/css templates?

Posted by stephenbez on Saturday November 13, 2010 @06:34PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Does anyone know of any good open source web app html/css templates?

I've got a web app I want to put on GitHub but the template I'm currently using is free-as-in-beer, but not GPL/Creative-Commons licensed.

When I search Google, all I get is templates for business websites or blogs.

Something like http://www.gooeytemplates.com/templates/ would be great.

Thanks!

There certainly is a lack of good free templates available. If you want to get in contact with me, I'll make a template to your specifications and release it GPL via github for everyone.

Nice! I really like how the different interface elements are packed onto the same page. Makes it extremely easy to make an assessment. It would be super awesome to have a CSS Zen Garden-like effort for Web App themes based around that HTML.

What's the licensing for this theme? Can one just use the source/theme?

Open Source Web Design: http://www.oswd.org/ But you have to look for yourself how good they are.

Yup, the site hasn't been updated for at least 2 years now.

I'm building a UI html/css framework-template thingy, but I'm not sure if it is "good" yet.
