I love bootswatch and would happily pay $5-$10 a month for regular swatches like this uploaded every few days / week, I'm not a designer nor do I want to spend time trying to be, bootstrap + bootswatch give me the ability to get something up ,running and looking pretty damn good very quickly.

I agree. wrapbootstrap is going in this direction, but they seem to have had the same ~dozen themes since they started out. I'd love for more really talented designers to create bootstrap themes -- non-designers are hungry for them. I'm particularly interested in bootstrap themes that make good use of creative typographic elements.

A subscription service would be very interesting, and if it were a reputable designer, I'd sign up in a second.

It might seem like that because the front page is usually locked down by the most popular themes, but the site has around 330 or so now. Or did you mean it another way?

You're right. I apologize. Last time I flipped through wrapbootstrap, it seemed there were only a dozen or so themes. But I was wrong, I was only looking at the most popular themes and failed to notice the others. It looks like you've got a lot of nice new themes. I look forward to checking them out.

My biggest complaint about WarpBootstrap is that few if any themes have *.less support. This makes is much hard to use themes except as is. It also makes upgrading bootstrap more of a pain in the ass.

Having some sort of git integration would also make upgrading the theme and bootstrap itself easier too.

I'm interested to hear more of your thoughts on git integration so I shot you an email. Just a heads up. :)
