Show HN: Themes based on the biggest startups

My favorite theme in the whole world in 2017? Out of any other startups?

Heroku.

By far. They call it "Purple".

URL: https://purple.herokuapp.com/

They're overhauling it (see https://purple3.herokuapp.com/)

The caveat? It's not open source and only used internally.

Would love it if they open sourced the primitives mixins/font sizes/white spacings/forms in their new design spec.

Their documentation is also the cream of the crop. Highly readable, and pleasant.

Their product is also solid. As someone who has contributed to config managers and been through all the cloud stuff, it's a relief to just `git push heroku` and have everything just work.

Not sure who leads them, but they're doing something right.

Looks awesome! Really like the idea of reusable sass files. I would suggest maybe some GNOME UI components or anything OSS, since most of what you have is kinda dodgy with the license ( I assume ).

This is remarkable and awesome. Great job :) It's cool to see open source themes that are beautiful beyond the Sass frameworks out there.

Thanks to 'git-pull' comment I just realized that exists something great, that collect a big number of internal Style Guide of big companies: http://styleguides.io/examples

Our idea with steroidesign is create a styleguide open source based on these big companies. Create a basic standard, and write every theme based on this standard, open and free for all.

It would be great! We are not sure if it's useful for the designer/developer community, but sounds a great project.

I wonder how many power devs or consulting shops use their own version internally? I've built something like this over the course of a couple years for client projects (it now has 12, also BEM-style Sass templates from well-designed startups, I think pretty much all YC, that I can inject into new prototypes). Although they are tuned for specific framework integration with a bunch of bash scripts, not just standalone assets.

This emoji thing has got to stop. It's getting ridiculous.

No demo?

that title is noxious
