    Let's have a moment's silence for our dear departed friend, #fe57a1.

    Bring back the hot pink selection background color!

    One would think there's not much left to be done when it comes to the boilerplate, but these guys prove there is.

    Without getting into code changes, I'm glad to see they abandoned that childish theme the whole project had.

    Gratz on the release

    Splendid work guys, but I am still unhappy that you guys closed the Google group around it.

    Will check out the updates shortly.

    "The web's most popular front-end template". With the popularity of Bootstrap, this claim seems unbelievable.

    Very nice, will have to check this out for the project I'm starting today. Sick of using Bootstrap to demo when I usually change everything. Just need some boilerplate instead.

    Nice work on the new site design, really clean and neat!

    Glad to see this stripped right back down again to a useful state, it started to get very verbose & noisey

    Maybe it needs a little more work. I've got a "Unhandled DOMException: SYNTAX_ERR" in jQuery. And "plugins.js" and "main.js" are loaded twice.

    Also: I'm on Opera and get a lot of CSS errors. Some are strange: "-o-opacity is an unknown property".

    I love this project. It's everything that I'll never remember on my own and more.

    There's also Yeoman in the works, which appears to be a more ambitious H5BP, but by the same people:

    Are there some famous projects that I can see concrete examples of use of this this project? This seems pretty cool but I still couldn't get it.

    What does Google Analytics have to do with html5?
