Bootstrap Zero alternatives

I was among the first people to actually purchase Postcards v1. Recently, I had the chance to use Version 3, and all I can say is, "Great development!"! I truly appreciate the time and effort the team has invested into improving the product. And the AI integration in the new version is the cherry on top 🤩 Thank you guys!

It's really strange essential components, as datepicker and toast, being only available through a Pro subscription.

I bought the Shards Pro UI Kit. It does not include the compiled UI kit. You have to compile it yourself, which (for me) rather defeats the purpose of buying a Bootstrap UI Kit. I'm buying it because I'm not a front-end dev and don't want to have to install node and all the dependencies. I just want to work with HTML/CSS/JS. Anyway, I installed node and follow the compilation instructions. It would not compile. Some issue with Python. Installed Python. Some other issue... Some other issue... Technical support has not responded after 3 business days. I requested a refund. (Supposedly there is a 30-day money back guarantee.) No response. I have requested a charge-back from my bank. Hopefully I get my money back. Oh - it's subscription-based pricing by default. Even if this product and service wasn't so half-baked, subscription pricing for a bootstrap theme is stupid anyway.
