That's on a wired 50 megabit connection, I don't want to know the load time on mobile. Good job on an overblown landing page!

Please be respectful of other people's work. The same criticism could have been framed in a much less toxic manner.

The author has clearly put a lot of work into this, and theres a lot more good things to say about it than there are flaws.

For example, it looks beautiful, will certainly help many people, and I, personally, will be happy to learn from it and use in my own future projects. Even though page size can be improved, author did a great job, and I don't want him to be discouraged by your nitpicking.

So don't be a dick.

Hey, thank you. Glad, you like it.

I agree with you on page size/load time. It is just a demo landing page and not a final product. There are plenty of ways to improve the page metrics.

Since the actual size is tiny, tried using webpack to combine some of the resources. Saved ~40% of that size with minification and dead code removal, and saving that many requests meant that it takes a tenth of the time to load.

Might recommend you try it too for releases, as a lot of people might not know how & will use this as is.

There are a few places that don't look great if you look at the demo on mobile. There's too much padding on the bottom of the header nav, the app store logos don't have any margins, and the 'Unlimited Features' title is right up against the image of the phone.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll fix soon.

The app is nice for the promotional site. It is light and beautiful.

Glad, you like it ;)

Wow, Appster is downloaded 210+ times in just 3 hours. I didn't anticipate this. It was a fun project I created while learning Bootstrap 4 but it turned out a useful app landing page.

I would love to see how you are using it. Just send me a tweet at https://twitter.com/attacomsian

It looks very nice. By the way, why didn't you make a landing page for Appster with Appster?

Awesome work, thanks for sharing!

Bookmarked it, should come in handy when I'm building my next landing page =)

Just a quick grammar tip: "A beautiful screen capturing app you can trust on" should say "you can trust" or "you can rely on."

For that matter, I'd probably refer to it as a "screen capture app" instead of a "screen capturing app."

Yes. You're right. Didn't pay much attention as it was supposed to be a dummy text.

This is exactly why you need to use Lorem Ipsum otherwise visitors spend their time focusing on the text (I was trying to work out if it was a theme or an app you were pushing)

I'll replace the text with Lorem Ipsum.

I can't load the webpage; is it down for anyone else? Google cache returns 404.

Server crashes... ! Just restarted. it is live again.

Cheers, it's back up again.

Why use alpha when the beta of Bootstrap 4 is out?

Beta is released few days ago. I built Appster a couple of weeks ago but released it today. Will update it to Bootstrap 4 once it is available.

Great and useful work. Bootstrap 4 is still in beta, do you plan to continue support, taking into a count possible api changes?

Glad, you like it. Yes, I will upgrade it to Bootstrap 4 once it is released.

Bootstrap templates are Show HN material now?

Bootstrap templates require a non-trivial amount of work. Why should they not be?

You may want to add default margins to some elements. On mobiles the buttons, images etc. are overlapping.

I'll fix. Thank you for the feedback.

Unfortunately this is down for me again

I'm sorry for the trouble. i just upgraded the server.

No problem and thanks for the work - this is useful!

What theme is wiredots built on?

It is Built on Wired UI kit (a Bootstrap 4 UI kit). I'll release it for FREE in coming weeks ;)

Beautiful work!

thank you.

This is on the front page, Seriously?
