Hey guys, A huge thanks to @bramk for hunting us, the godfather of curated sites! Chipmunk Theme was co-created with @piotrkulpinski in response to the increased demand for curated content. Carefully crafted with the user in mind, to aid in great content discovery. We believe everyone should have the possibility to collect and share their best online resources with ease. Let us know what you think 😄

@natelegler thank you!
Nate Legler
@janwennesland bought. Haven't gotten a great chance to play with it since we are harvesting soybeans but any chance in future update the ability to change on a per item level the "visit website" button?
Jan Haaland
Maker
@natelegler Thanks for buying :) Yes, thats definitely something we will put in our backlog.

I could’ve never imagined people would be so inspired with Startup Stash to actually build dozens of copy’s for other subjects, let alone build a whole WP theme to make it easier! Thanks @piotrkulpinski and @janwennesland, I think myself + @bentossell and @craigjbarber (and the other awesome people who've created their own stash) would've had much help with this theme!

Hi everyone. Thanks @bramk for the hunt and @janwennesland for an awesome collaboration! We made sure the theme is properly tested but if you spot any issues I'm here to help. Also, if you have any questions of suggestions regarding the theme or our landing page - let me know and I'll try to answer. Any feedback is highly appreciated!
David Carpe
@piotrkulpinski thanks - and nice work - any chance you could allow users to include an image in submissions to ease the burden on curators and admins?
David Carpe
@passingnotes oh, and ratings may be quite useful as a sorting feature on busy and crowded categories
Piotr Kulpiński
Maker
@passingnotes Great idea! Actually we received the same suggestion through the email recently so it's going to be added in the near future for sure! Thanks!

Maker
@tahaqadri Thanks! The landing page is a custom one but built by the same team. Unfortunately, it's not available for purchase (at least not yet :)).

@tahaqadri Thanks! Chupmunktheme site is custom made :)

Just purchased and started customizing! I can't get the menu's to display on site after setting my menu to be the Header nav and Footer nav. Any suggestions?
Piotr Kulpiński
Maker
@mrschuette Thanks for your purchase Markus! Can you send us some screenshots of your menu settings on support@chipmunktheme.com?

I think it's a good idea to show you the list of future ideas we're planning to implement and the direction that this product will be going. Aside from the latest suggestions that were given by Product Hunters, we're planning to add following features: - Implement an ability to add custom fields to resource submissions (let's say someone wants to build a directory of curated WP themes and wants to display their price somewhere, so extra field to enter resource price would be helpful). - Add some kind of filtering on resource listing pages (this will make sense when we have some more advanced custom fields ready - see above) - Implement new page templates (Contact, FAQs and maybe some others) - JavaScript validation for newsletter and submission forms - Allow to add longer resource description - Add ability to sort featured resources Please keep the suggestions coming as they'll help us make the theme as good and user-friendly as possible. And thanks for the great feedback so far!

@janwennesland @piotrkulpinski what kid of features are you planning to add in the future? do you have a public roadmap by any chance?
Piotr Kulpiński
Maker
@sliver86 @janwennesland I posted some plans for the theme here already, but we've listened to our customers and grown our feature list recently. Currently, we're planning on adding such features: - Add JavaScript validation for newsletter and submission forms - Allow to add custom fields to resource submissions - Add filtering options on resource listing pages - Add ability to sort featured resources - Implement "upvote" button for resources and combine it with views to calculate resource popularity - Add image upload option to user submission form - Add ability to change "visit website" label per item - Allow to add longer resource description - Implement simple blogging functionality - Implement Contact page template - Implement FAQ page template

@sliver86 @janwennesland Added the roadmap on our website so you can follow it there: http://chipmunktheme.com/roadmap/

Great looking template! A nice improvement would be to allow users to UpVote (or Like) entries, just like on ProductHunt.
Piotr Kulpiński
Maker
@joshuapinter Great idea! We'll definitely add that in future versions and will combine that with view counters to calculate the overall resource popularity. Thanks!

just purchased and can't wait to play with it when I get the chance! I couldn't find any info from the manual or site about the licensing? @piotrkulpinski @janwennesland
Jan Haaland
Maker
@yougeekybastard thanks for purchasing! Much appreciated. We are currently looking into licensing. We will get back to you shortly in detail. In the meanwhile, have fun :)

@yougeekybastard @janwennesland Hi Tini! Thank you for purchasing our theme. Sorry it took us so long to respond! Of course, every WordPress theme is sold on GPL license so you can use the theme on how many sites as you want. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Paul Horne
I don't get how this distinguishes a curation site.... there's no added functionality like ratings or reviews or voting... And the feature list (easy install, responsive, customizable, social media links, analytics, mailchimp integration) are all pretty standard features of Wordpress. What am I missing?
Piotr Kulpiński
Maker
@paulhorne Thanks for your comment, Paul. We were watching the "curated" trend for quite some time and there's not too many collection sites that allow voting on resources etc. Most people just want an easy way to collect and categorize the best resources they can find on a particular topic. While we're planning to add new features to the theme - our main goal will always be to keep it as simple as possible.
