I designed some Free Bootstrap Themes

Say hello to Grayshift, our very first collection of Bootstrap themes that are built entirely by our team and open-sourced for everyone to use.

For a long time, I've wanted to give back to the community, but never quite found the time or ideal approach until earlier this year.

To start, we're launching with five themes: blog, forum, chat, hosting, and project management.

Our goal was to provide minimalist themes with consistent, flexible, and sustainable markup.

Head to the Grayshift themes site to check them out.

Here is some sneak peeks:

One more thing...

For all lovers of dark themes: You can enable dark mode straight from your system settings.

By the way, how did you create the CSS? 9,000+ lines of CSS looks like an insane amount two do manually.

Not necessarily. I don't use CSS preprocessors. I have my own methods of writing CSS but that's another story for another time.

Is it exported from a tool? Just curious because I find CSS time-consuming would love to learn about any available tools to simplify my workflow.

Old, plain, simple CSS.

Great choice! Swipe is my favorite.

We came a long way. Take a look at Swipe 1.0 from a year ago:
