My template has been hard rejected and no clear feedback on why this happened except “unfortunately we found it isn’t at the quality standard required to move forward”.
I have a very bad opinion about this service as a soft reject with clear feedback would have been a lot better and productive. By hard rejecting my item both parties lost their time. This is an awful way to run a business.
Anyway, this is a demo of the template: https://neuroblog.andrewstarlike.com/
Can you please suggest why this item may have been hard rejected?
With respect a soft rejection would have been counter productive here as there is far too much that needs fixing to be able to simply list the issues.
Some issues (not limited to)
-
Copy and paste content feels lazy and unfinished, as does empty thumbnails etc.
-
One layout for the articles is not enough and you should be providing multiple layouts and/or designs
-
Similarly - one example post for all links and using one simple text and image format rather than demoing different post types
-
No category page plus clicking # category tags loads the generic post not other posts under that category tag
-
Limited styling on most elements
-
The shadows on buttons do not work
-
Thumbnail on topic list is stretched
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Some issues you pointed out are easy to fix but others like different designs would require a lot of work. Now I’ve done this template primarily for my own project so I did not felt the need to make it diverse just for extra income from Envato.
Your feedback is inspirational though as I’m realizing I should focus on my own AI projects rather than doing multiple layouts and designs just to please Envato marketplace.
As a curiosity I’ve done this template in just 11 hours using Claude AI. And I plan to create an AI agent similar to some features of Manus AI that would create a template like this in minutes at the cost of few dollars in AI API usage. This is the future anyway, not template marketplaces.
hi can give me an feadback pls
Can you please look at the question I submitted regarding my theme because I didn’t receive any response? Thank you.

It’s unlikely that anything created with AI will pass review for here - there’s some clever tech out there for personal projects but the code tends to be messy and the designs lack attention to detail. Add to this the fact that if you didn’t write the code in the first place then future updates and maintenance is going to be difficult.
Ultimately this remains the biggest premium network out there and selling (successfully) items requires investment in time and commitment
Can you take a look at my order? Thank you.

Claude AI code is superior from SOLID principles point of view compared with any React templates I ever bought on Themeforest. This is actually the reason why I ended up creating my own designs, I got sick and tired to implement messy Themeforest React code and waste time with crap. But I admit that from the looks point of view Claude AI is still inferior for the moment. This is just a matter of time, technologies like Claude AI will become superior to any human generated code fast or very fast. My advice is to be open minded to new technologies rather than living in denial of already advanced AI capabilities.
