Hello Ane! Thank you for your review. I am not sure I fully understand what you mean. Could you please clarify what do you consider unclear in the license as the items you presented are clearly stated in both license summary and grant terms.
Ane Disi
@cata i hope that im not nitpicking but this is unknown licence that im not sure what i can do with it, is it limiting me if i want to create some SAAS mvp, and themes ?. if so then calling it free its at least a little bit misleading. material-ui has a MIT licence and that i would call free. you should at least on the landing or download page make a link or a tooltip to licence where i can see that without downloading it.

@anedisi Thank you for getting back Ane. I understand your concern and I updated the product page to properly link to the license.

@anedisi @cata So the final consensus here is that 'NO' you can't use this to build any SaaS products or Wordpress themes? That's too bad, wish you went with the MIT license instead

@anedisi @nydrewreynolds Unfortunately for now, yes. However, this is something to change in the following months.

Hello Product Hunters! 👋 Thank you Ionut for the hunt! I’m Catalin, the founder of DesignRevision and maker of Shards and I’m really excited to finally show you the project I’ve been working on during the past month. 🔑 A few key features of Shards: - The kit has a modern design system with subtle micro-interactions. - Packed with two pre-built landing pages and 11 extra custom components. - Compatible with both Material and FontAwesome icon packs. - Tiny, with its CSS weighting only 12.41 kb minified and gzipped. - Responsive by default. - Well documented. - Absolutely free! Make sure you check out all the details on the official page and also the live demos! I really hope you will enjoy it! 😁 Please let me know if you have any questions, suggestions or ideas!

I really like it! Any plans to offer a react version?

@laurajuliettep Thank you, I’m really glad you like it! 😃I’m definitely considering a React version of Shards and it's something I plan on working in the following months. Unfortunately, I can’t give you a release date just yet.
Juliette Pretot
@cata that's awesome to hear! Bootstrap -> React certainly isn't an easy feat, take your time.

Wow this is super nice, and will probably use it in future on my mini projects, I so much like the style of it. FYI: The only thing the url in the demo for Download button is on the localhost instead of your domain, so maybe fixing it would be good for you. (I found the way for my self but you, for sure, don't want to force that for every user)
