Dear Justin Tadlock,
I use Chun theme, which was designed by you, on this very blog. I would like to tell you how angry I’m with this theme. I’ve been using this theme for over 8 months now on this blog, and let me tell you that it’s a piece of art.
I’m also a theme developer, and there has been more than few times when I spent hours and hours working on a new design for my personal site, and after completing it saying, “It’s good but Chun is still better.”
The only reason that I’m not using my own design for my site is only that I just can’t activate any other theme. They just suck in front of Chun, even Twenty Thirteen. I love using post formats, and Chun is just perfect for someone like me. I’ve bookmarked Chun’s repository for every time I need to check how a quality theme like Chun uses something. And your Hybrid extensions, such as pagination, breadcrumb-trail and post format tools, are more like a toolkit for me. So please – stop ruining my precious hour by creating amazing quality themes like Chun, because I just can’t stop praising it. It should be the #1 theme in WordPress.org repository.
Regards,
Hardeep Asrani
PS: I love you. Keep the amazing work up. Learned a lot from it. 🙂
I almost didn’t read your blog post when you sent me the email. Believe it or not, I get a lot of actual “hate” mail in my position. This was a nice surprise though. I’m glad you’re enjoying the theme.
I’m glad that I had added a littles smiley at the end of the email. Thanks for the theme. 🙂
Yeah, Hardeep! You are right. This theme is just like salt of the life for a personal wordpress site.
I was going to say Jim Ross of announcing, but salt of the life will do the job too. :p
I’m using the Chun theme also for my personal blog. It’s absolutely one of the best blogging themes ever. The only theme that is as good IMHO, is the Saga theme. Yes, that’s also made bij Justin, and the Vaaka child theme which is absolutely great. Funny, since I’m visiting this site looking for more information about your own DocPress theme..
Hi,
I’m still trying to design a theme for my personal site which will satisfy me, because I couldn’t design something as awesome as Chun so far.
And sorry but I got caught up in work, so I wasn’t able to put DocPress’ documentation (no pun intended.) I’ll try to put it up today. And if you have any questions then you can use the contact form. 🙂
