Chipmunk is a WordPress Theme tailored to meet the increased demand for content curation websites. Carefully crafted with the user in mind, to aid in great content discovery.
@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
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
@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.

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?
@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.
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?
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 😄
@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?
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!

@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?

@passingnotes oh, and ratings may be quite useful as a sorting feature on busy and crowded categories
@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!

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/
