Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll have to come up with nice a way to tackle spam/duplicate entries before I let people submit themes. I am adding it to my TODO list.

Drop me a line at bharani[at]bootstrapcarnival.com with your feedback once your review it. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks. Glad that you like it.

> Creative Market is by far my favorite because of their license terms

Yes, I love how easy it is to set up a shop with Creative Market. I hate the exclusive product/author terms in ThemeForest and WrapBootstrap.

You can search for "Creative Market" to find themes from that marketplace.

> http://bootstrapcarnival.com/search?q= shows empty :)

Ah. Thanks for pointing it out. Will fix it.

> is there a way to search for free themes?

I've added a few free templates and I'll be adding more soon. The only problem is that free templates are all over the place. I need to manually sort through them to find the right demo/download links and to avoid duplication. I'll add a specific tab for free themes once there are around 10 free themes.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll fix the bug shortly.

I've been working with Bootstrap for a couple of months now and I have noticed that it is pretty difficult to filter through all the free and premium templates available for Bootstrap. You usually have to wade through fancy cover images and screenshots.

I have created Bootstrap Carnival to make theme discovery a bit easier. It instantly shows you the demos of over 1000+ premium Bootstrap themes from multiple marketplaces (WrapBootstrap, Creative Market and Themeforest).

Let me know what you think about it.

http://www.resumonk.com/ - Resumonk is an online resume (CV) maker.

I just launched a major update with lots of changes to the resume editor. Also improved the DOC conversion and templating code quite a bit.

It's cool because I think it is the most intuitive online resume maker out there that helps the job seekers in standing out from the other applicants through their resume but without actually going over the top with "super-creative" designs.

Resumonk Premium Plan is now just $12 (45% OFF) for a limited time. Use code HNY2014 on Checkout page to redeem this discount.

As a premium user, you get

- Resumes with no Resumonk branding in the footer

- Access to our premium templates

Bootstrap is good if you are happy with its default design and do not want to customize it much.

If all you need is a good starting grid and some useful javascript libraries to work with, I would suggest that you take a look at Foundation. It gives you a good starting point and doesn't get in your way after that.

At Resumonk (http://www.resumonk.com), we started off with Bootstrap and then moved to Foundation because of the flexibility that it provided. Now we've just updated Resumonk from Foundation 2.x to Foundation 4. The upgrade went very smoothly and we also plan to write a blog post about it soon.

At Resumonk, we have started using Jekyll as our blogging platform. We've just finished designing a Jekyll theme to match our website's design. Since there aren't many Jekyll themes out there, we thought we'd release this in the public domain. We hope you find this useful.

I do plan to write about my experiences as a student entrepreneur in India. I hope Resumonk becomes a profitable business soon, and I'll be happy to share my learning about it.

Sorry about the issue you faced in the past. We have completely revamped the interface now and Resumonk now uses an in-place editor. Would love to get your feedback on it.

Thanks. We have added a lot of features based on user feedback and will certainly look in to it.

Yes, it ain't easy to break in to a top ranking site for search results in this domain, but we are trying our best to build a useful product that catches the imagination of the users.

We are thinking about how we can help users with the 'content' part as well.

It is very hard to provide 'accurate' metrics without polling/contacting the users frequently and we really don't want to hassle them in any way.

Happy to know that you liked Resumonk. Made our day!

Thanks for your suggestions Andrew. Yes we would like to expand to other kind of online document design. We will have to identify a few good niche(s) and then take it from there.

Resume creation itself seems like a big market to us, and it would be great if we can help people do it easily than the other alternatives, we agree that MS Word has become quite imposing with each new version of Office and let's see how much we can simplify it for the users.

We decided on the time frame for the subscription as 6 months, because that seemed to be a good time estimate for 'regular' job search. We arrived at the $23 price point based on our earlier experience of selling a PRO plan worth $9, and feedback of the existing users. Having said that, it still is based on our gut feel rather than backed by any concrete evidence.

Great suggestion. Actually, I started off trying to create a completely flat UI like the current design trend but I love shadows and gradients so much that I couldn't get myself to stop using them. I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind when I am doing the next design iteration.

I just checked it on Firefox and it looked fine to me. Could you please tell me your Firefox version and your screen resolution?

Wow! Congrats! Really glad that Resumonk could be of your help. How can we reach you for a testimonial? We can't see your email address in the 'About' section of your HN profile.

Yes, initially even I was a bit tentative about the product. I wasn't sure if this could be a viable business model. But the response and reception was simply amazing. Thanks to the HN community, I believe that we have had a good start but we still have a long way to go. Thanks a lot for those kind words! It means a lot!

HipCV looks great. I just wanted to point out that you can create still create a beautiful resume with Resumonk's free plan. You would only need to upgrade to the Premium plan if you want additional features like .DOC conversion.

Best of luck with HipCV. I hope it goes well.

HN definitely helped with the initial set of users. After that most of the traffic has been organic. Resumonk ranks pretty well for some keywords like 'simple resume builder' etc. We haven't started spending on online marketing as of now but it is something that we plan to focus on a lot more.

I did a Show HN [1] for Resumonk almost an year back and got some awesome feedback & suggestions. I am about to finish college now and planning to work full time on it along with a co-founder.

So far it has got 17000+ users and a small percentage of them purchased the original $9 PRO plan. Based on all the user feedback, we have now revamped the product and added some of the widely requested features like DOC format support in the new Premium plan.

We would love to get feedback of the community on how we can improve the offering and build a profitable business. Thanks!
