Interesting. I have been looking for a curated site builder. Will check out. But am curious as to why curation is so popular yet no one seems to like https://www.hellobox.co who was hunted a year ago, but has turned out to be more of a curated directory than a community site. It's is free, lets you have your own custom domain, a fully customisable theme, and has upvoting and commenting capabilities built in already? Check out http://www.resourcestacks.com/ or http://tools.robingood.com/

@debbiediscovers interesting thought. Wonder what your answer is though. :)

@pravilz @janwennesland Hi Pravil, thanks man! Actually, ads can be inserted in the theme already. We support standard banner ads as well as embedable html code from AdSense and similar services. We don't plan on including widgets in the theme, tho.

@piotrkulpinski Got it. Thanks Piotr. I think if I need to add contextual ads (replacing one item here: http://demo.chipmunktheme.com/co... with a contextual ad which looks similar to the item) this may need further customization.

Its really an amazing theme. I would definitely going to buy this.

Sounds interesting however what does it auto curate from ? i mean it seems to be manual curation based on user submissions only, or did i miss some sort of curation features such as rss feed curation ?

@mitch_menghi Hi Mitch, That's the whole idea of curation, I guess, that the resources have to be hand-picked by creators. We do not plan to implement any automatic content population at the moment.

Thank you @janwennesland and @piotrkulpinski for building this. As soon as I found it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it 😄 I have since built my own curated directory using the Chipmunk theme (albeit heavily modified) and I have to say, it's extremely clean and well-documented! I'd be more than happy to provide a testimonial!

Does this theme use a normal post/page, or a custom post type?

@ebrahimkhalil Thanks for asking! We use a custom post types keep the resources simple and easily manageable. We also use the custom taxonomies to store Resource Collections and Tags (used for pulling related content).

Dope. I've wanted to get something like this. I'm curious, what's the benefit using this over curating through a Pinterest account with boards? Is it the owning your own land and control over additional content? Curious how you guys look at it though.

@scotty_webb Sorry for the delay, but here are my thoughts: 1. With Pinterest or any other social network you just play in someone else's playground which is always risky. 2. You don't have the advantage to be able to launch your product on PH for example and get some traction this way. 3. By using custom website you are able to build your own audience using email lists and built relationships with people which is hard to do on Pinterest. Hope that helps.
