lol - he's taken it down.
And threatened to report me. He doesn't say who to. The Internet police presumably.
Probably to the DN mods/admins. Don't worry. We have you covered.
lol did he gave any reason for the report threat? definitely sounds like a kid.
Aw man, I missed all the fun.
tbh that's an impressive portfolio of memes.
Ahahaha amazing. Happened to me a while ago and I did the same thing :)
I just can't understand people like this. I've been stayed sleepless for weeks to create a site WHICH I intentionally tried to make it look like not stolen from the ideas that I love. And people can shamelessly steal. Sometimes I'm thinking either I might be too naive or a majority of ppl are assholes.
I think they took the site down. :)
You have to click work, select a project, then scroll down. It looks like it's throwing an error.
I don't get it
check out the work section
The owner of https://mintdsgn.co completely lifts the code of https://works.pm, but they link images in 'work' section directly to the original's. The owner of the original site (OP) replaced all those links with memes, so if you click on the work section, select a page, wait for it to load then scroll down a bit, all you see is memes.
Aha, okay! Thanks!
Oh wow. That is really bad. People get away with this kind of strategy? I mean, they get work? Or is it just for the lulz?
Ha! Its a sick website tho. No wonder someone ripped it off.
I feel so sorry to miss that. This is hilarious!
Well, if you want to see a company who has made stealing websites / apps / ideas their business model, look no further than "Rocket Internet" (a.k.a. Crooked Internet). "Founded" by the sons of a billionaire, all that they do is spawn company after company by copying successful startups (people who literally figured out their business model themselves), and just changing the name to something vaguely cool sounding (ex: Wimdu, original AirBnB). And by copying, I mean literally copying, e.g. the source code of many originals has been detected in their copies. They are now even at the stock market trading. Best of all, they think they have that "startup culture" going and fill their offices with hipsters. Don't understand how one could work for such a company like "Rocket Internet". Sometimes this business really sets me off.
Name and shame them.
Goodness me.
Hahaha - saw this on your twitter today. Seems I missed it.
Weird bug report incoming
Spelling error in your menuConent
javascript variable.
Did you make the resize helper yourself, or is it a library? Really nice how it highlights the grid.
Ha, well spotted. Appears I have made it in enough places that it still works.
Made the resizer myself. It's just turning on and off a block of content.
They say stealing is a form of flattery. Nice site and body of work btw.
