There's a line on the website if you scroll down all the way to the bottom:

> Inspiriation and some of the images from this HN post.

Not sure whether it's enough to show attribution.

It's not enough. And "Inspired by" is deliberately hidden below a long trail of text, and that itself is a lie. It's not "inspired by". It's "almost lifted from".

It is enough. He gives attribution.

Legally, probably. According to proper etiquette, far from it.

"Inspiration" though? It's loading the exact same images, in the exact same order, long passages of verbatim css, etc. It's fairly weak attribution there, and no nod in the blog post. It's "enough" from a copyright standpoint, but it's lame.

And, like I wrote above, literally the 'Inspired by' section itself was stolen from the original website. I'm sorry for repeating myself, but I'm in awe of how brazen this guy is.
