Template Details
Bootflat-Admin is an open-source admin interface template with a flat UI style, built on the Bootflat and Bootstrap CSS frameworks. The repository is primarily composed of HTML pages, accompanied by Sass source files, CSS and JavaScript source code, and a Grunt workflow for concatenating, minifying, and cleaning assets.
The template source resides in the bootflat-admin directory and includes two configuration files, csscomb.json and jscomb.json, which declare the CSS and JS files to be concatenated. Styles can be written in bootflat-admin/css/site.css or in Sass files under the scss directory, while scripts go in bootflat-admin/js/application.js. Build output is written to the dist directory, containing css, fonts, js, and img subdirectories; the README states that dist is the directory actually needed by an application or website.
Before use, you need to install Node dependencies and run grunt watch, which watches sass, css, and js files for changes and automatically concatenates and minifies them into dist/css/site.min.css and dist/js/site.min.js. If you modify Sass, you also need to install Ruby and Sass. The project was last updated in 2014 and depends on the Bootstrap and Bootflat versions of that time; it does not provide modern front-end build or framework integration options.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version in the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- You may use, modify, commercially use, and distribute this version's code for free.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- Before modifying Sass source files, you must install Ruby and run gem install sass; Sass compilation depends on an external Ruby environment, so it is not a pure front-end, zero-dependency setup.
- Before using the template, you must run npm install in the project directory to install Node dependencies; the build workflow depends on external npm packages.
- You need to run grunt watch to monitor and automatically concatenate and minify sass, css, and js files; the build depends on the Grunt toolchain.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; the code's MIT license alone cannot be used to judge them.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur separate charges.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
