@axelut I know from my own experience how much research, effort, money, and time goes into the creative process of any product, and from what I've seen there are a lot of features that are not only inspired from but downright copied 1:1.
It is true that the web industry and usually UI/UX interfaces have similarities and it is impossible to make something completely different from what already exists (it's kind of like a continuous fork based on what was already), but seeing the same text and CSS properties is definitely a red flag, especially when you are actually SELLING this.
I know that @dannypostmaa had these issues with the Headlime project.
@axelut Damn! I believe it's a blunder by one of his team members or unintentional?! We also follow and get inspirations from similar products and templates. But, directly copy-pasting same codebase/design is really unexpected from such prestigious creators. Disappointed ☹️
Hello @axelut,
Some of the elements of the code look very similar, indeed.
We will check this thoroughly in order to make sure that no code has been copied & pasted, and we will modify the landing page.
I have to be honest and say that we do not check where the designers get their inspirations but copy-pasting is of course forbidden so the case of the waves is worrying and will be examined closely.
When it comes to the Design Blocks, I have to oppose a bit because most of these blocks are a very common layout, and majority of these are actually our old Design Blocks from Bootstrap v4 (released years ago) that have been rewritten to work with Bootstrap v5.
As you've said ripping off is not cool, and if we find that some of the code was indeed copied & pasted we will get rid of it ASAP.
Please know that there was no ill intent on our part.
@m_leciejewski great! agree 100% as @zolidev said, many things/blocks/sections/elements already exist in the market, and that's perfectly fine, we cannot invent new things.
But please check the print screens and you will see where the code has been copied. We are good if you do your research and repair those with your own things.
Many of the components look like a one-on-one copy of Soft UI by @axelut and his team. As someone who is active in the same market, I know that creating good looking UI elements can take months of designing, developing and testing, and I fully understand and support CreativeTim in this matter.
Great. I really like Material Design and here it is possible to see what gives a new design very quickly!
Hello Product Hunt 👋
Material Builder is a young project made using the power of Bootstrap 5 and the esthetics of Material Design 2.0.
Our focus is on speed and beauty - that's why all of the sections, are predesigned by professionals, and building a website is a matter of few clicks.
I invite you to leave your insight on it in the comments and reviews.
You're able to really impact the development with your feedback so don't hesitate to be honest!
Cheers!
I love the simplicity of it! It is very intuitive and I was able to prototype very quickly thanks to that.
Great job.
Creative Tim
