Hello. I created a bootstrap nav menu and uploaded to codecanyon to sell. But then I got an email from them. My product demo is: http://www.wordpressdergisi.com/copemenu/blue_menu.html I got this email:
I haven't been through their submission process but I wonder if the problem was in the admin tools rather than the output?
Quality... and bootstrap... in the same message... Bwhahahaa... oh man that slays me. Given the accessibility DISASTER that "mega menu" is, being garbage I'd NEVER put on a website in the first place, I can't say their reaction is too shocking if not for the fact that the fat bloated idiotic halfwit mouth-breathing dumbass bullshit known as bootcrap itself has many of the same failings. Turdpress, bootcrap -- Gah, seriously... why do people use any of this nonsense? Just TRYING to make site development harder and tell users to go **** themselves in one fell swoop?
If you actually have some coding skills (not apparent when choked by BS bloat) then instead of drink from the BS/WP sewer try developing something of real value that is unique and does not require users to smear themselves with the excrement produced by BS/WP. 99% of BS/WP developers are nothing but wannabes pretenders. If that is not the reputation you want then don't waste your talent supporting garbageware. Given what I see with what you submitted it would never make any money anyway. Menus are a dime a dozens and there are already hundreds available that are better than that; some even use real coding instead of relying on BS. If that is your best effort then you should be looking for an entry level developer position; you are not going to make a living selling suh weak offerings.
BS/WP may be reprehensible bloatware but there is a market that consistently (it would appear) spend money on themes and plugins. If you are trying to create something that a great many people can buy then it makes sense to follow the money. Being a purist is fine, paying your bills is better.
Such a good point. Some of the Envato resellers make good money off of the people's misery, whether it's an ethical thing to do is a whole different question. This seemingly profitable scheme drags more and more (mostly inexperienced) developers into their corporative claws, scamming in turn the innocent buyers. This probably explains why the demand is as consistent. But seriously, what goes on in people's minds when they decide to buy a pre-made theme or bootscrap-whatever menu without even figuring out the purpose of their future website? There aren't many 'purist' markets out there (none at all actually) because that very way of thinking web development is wrong on so many levels, being pretty much like buying a car piece without knowing what type of car needs repairing.
its okay..u can try again with something else. if its not accepted once, doesn't mean that ur design wasn't good. learn about their expectations and try again. u wil be successful for sure
I'm guessing that part of the problem, apart from issues with functionality and esthetics, might be the _ridiculous_ amount of memory that menu uses when you hover over something. It goes up from a reasonable 300k-ish on first load to 20-30 MB when I hover the contact-form, or the "contact", or almost any of the menu-items. That tells me there is WAY too much going on in the background. Also, responsive / mobile view looks HORRIBLE.
