The components are open source and you can use them any way you see fit under the MIT license terms.
The pro version includes fully coded pages and layouts (ie. dashboard layout, landing pages, e-commerce pages) that can accelerate your development even more. We also work based on a Figma file that is based exclusively on the default Tailwind utility classes and you can get that too in the pro version (although there is also a free one posted on the Figma community with the base components).
I think we should create a page comparing licenses and making it clearer.
> Latest release appears to be 4, what does 5 mean?
There is an alpha version of Bootstrap 5 effectively dropping jQuery and IE 10/11 as a dependency (https://v5.getbootstrap.com/)
> Admin? Admin of what, a website? Some other platform?
Maybe we can work on the title, it's supposed to be a web interface for managing stuff like users, messages, statistics and so on. Think of Heroku Dashboard. Or Cloudflare dashboard. Stuff like that. Yes, it's a website template.
> Is this a website template, with some built-in asset management mechanic like Wordpress?
It's just plain old HTML, CSS and Javascript but with Sass and Gulp as some extra features for higher customizability and Gulp mostly for the compilation of the Sass file and some other commands like minifying the files.
> Components? As in, web components[1]? Or is it terminology from some other web framework, maybe React or maybe some language feature in e.g. TypeScript?
Components meaning buttons, form elements, alert elements and so on. So they are HTML + CSS + Javascript web interface components.
Do you think we should drop the "admin" part from the title then? Thanks for your input though!
Thanks for this. Personally, I would have wanted this information in the intro of the project. But then again, odds are I'm not your target audience and that your target audience would find it obivous. It's one data point at least. :)
