I've seen that before, but the demos actually looked like the sites they were meant to represent, a la recreations, and not just similar to them. Also, I guess 35 demos is technically dozens, but I might have described the quantity a bit differently. Really, that whole site just looks and acts odd to me.


Hi, those are demos based on actual sites, in order to demonstrate versatility. Please describe what is odd and how it should be done properly? What would you want from such library/framework? Thanks


I think I'd make it very clear that these are real sites re-implemented to show that it can be done in the framework. Not just list them without an explanation to imply that they are using the framework.

You are using their brands to boost yours even though they are unrelated.

So I'd either build sites that look similar but don't have real logos / names which should be enough to show what kind of things are possible with the framework or if you want to stick to the re-implementations of real sites add something like:

"Reimplemented real world examples"


Will do that now, thank you.


At minimum, use robots to keep crawlers out of these sites. Or you're going to be getting letters. Cloning people's content in ways google finds isn't cool.


Thank you, adding rule to robots.txt. Regards
