I just pushed a HTML5 template called “Minimal HTML5 iPad Offline Cache Test” to github: https://github.com/bjornbjorn/minimal_html5_offline_test Basically it’s a demo of a simple webpage that can be cached offline on an iPad.

Themes have moved   Please note that these themes have now moved to ThemeForest, you can find them here: http://bit.ly/eFFMKs Ok, I’m kind of busy these days so I haven’t got time for the most elaborate posts — but anyway, as some of you might know I’ve teamed up with WooThemes to create theme packages [...]
