bopoda/ace

The ace repository contains a copy of the Ace admin template, a web-based dashboard interface built on Twitter Bootstrap 3. The person who published this repository states clearly in the README that they are not the template's author: they downloaded publicly accessible demo files from the wrapbootstrap.com marketplace and uploaded them to GitHub with minimal changes. The original Ace template is a commercial product sold through wrapbootstrap by its actual developers. The template provides a responsive admin dashboard layout with a wide set of UI components commonly needed for backend management interfaces: navigation menus, data tables, form controls, widget panels, and icons. The layout adapts to both desktop and mobile screen sizes. Browser compatibility covers Internet Explorer 8 through 11 as well as current releases of Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. After the repository appeared on GitHub and gained attention, the person who uploaded it continued adding new versions as they became available from wrapbootstrap. They also wrote a PHP script to automate downloading files from bootstrap template sites, though that script was never shared publicly. The files in this repository are minified JavaScript and CSS, meaning the source code is compressed and not straightforward to read or modify. There is no active support: the uploader asks explicitly that no one contact them. License terms are those of the original Ace template on wrapbootstrap, not a standard open-source license. Anyone considering this project should note that it is a copy of a commercial template's demo files rather than an independently developed open-source project. The template authors have not issued a takedown notice, which is why the repository remains public.
