As a primarily backend guy I appreciate all the work people do on this stuff a lot (even if I don't use it I often refer to it for both inspiration and ideas on how to do stuff).
Thanks for sharing.
EDIT: For example I'm already "borrowing" the colours from the notification dialogs, they look much nicer than the stock ones :).
(Just looking at Facebook blows my mind when you start realizing how many tiny patterns they have for displaying more information on the screen. Things like "Jack and 13 more like your link" w/ click to expand)

I may have to root/wipe it now... :( I can't prove that it was caused by either this or the other link, but the coincidence is troubling... who checks these HN submissions for malware anyway?
http://flathemes.com/ is your main website, it has a link to download version 1.0.1 (even though github says version 2.0.0 is the latest), then when I click download it says that I have to Like with Facebook or Twitter to download my "free gift" of your BootFlat theme, that rubs me the wrong way.
Whenever I come across people who really hate me and my work it takes every ounce of energy to try and ignore them and move on. So hard. --John Resig, creator of jQuery (https://twitter.com/jeresig/status/425483930918060032)
If people can't show their opinions of things, whats the point of even having HN. I didn't realise that everyone had to love everything posted on this site.
I'm looking to use it for a small redesign project this week, and I had a quick concern - when I load the sample files on my OS X 10.9.2 in Chrome, the text won't show. Once I "inspect element" in Chrome, it pops in. Strange error for sure - just me or anyone else?

Below is a good list of them that has been around for a while, enjoy.

There's a difference between:
"Another flat CSS theme for bootstrap? How many minutes did that take you?"
and
"There have been a number of flat CSS themes presented on this site, so I find it hard for any one of them to really distinguish themselves. Have you considered [the idea that OP thinks is better or more original or more useful]?
---
The reason it's less than ideal to weigh in with such disdain is that it discourages other people for whom creating something like that would be a MASSIVE undertaking.
Imagine a beginning designer who doesn't know anything about CSS or graphic design, so, for their initial project, they want to create a flat CSS theme. It's ambitious for them, and they're anxious to start and they log into HN and...oh. Wow. That person just made something better than I could ever make and got BLASTED.
What's the point of trying?
Comment #2 encourages them and points them towards a better suggestion. Comment #1 adds nothing.
Reason #2 was that I was disappointed that a CSS file with a few colors changed passes as an HN article these days.
Humility is a valuable lesson to learn. I see no reason to lie to the person and pretend that they provide any real value to anyone actually using Bootstrap.
The point of trying is not to show off, it should be for self-growth. If the article said, "this is my first project as a web-developer, what do you think", then I would have been much more polite, instead this guy just wants as many Facebook likes as possible so that he can eventually make money off of you.
