I Open-Sourced My Developer Portfolio and It Got 198 Stars — Here's the Stack

After months of tweaking, I open-sourced my developer portfolio and it somehow got 198 stars on GitHub. Here's exactly what's inside and why devs seem to love it.

The Stack

  • React with TypeScript
  • Material-UI for components
  • Overmind for state management
  • Clean, minimal design that actually loads fast

Why Developers Love It

Most portfolio templates are bloated. They load 15 libraries to show your name and a list of projects. This one is different:

  • Fast — minimal dependencies, optimized bundle
  • 🎨 Beautiful — Material Design that actually looks professional
  • 🔧 Customizable — change content through simple config files
  • 📱 Responsive — works perfectly on mobile

What's Inside

The portfolio includes sections for:

  • Hero with animated intro
  • About me
  • Skills & technologies
  • Projects showcase
  • Experience timeline
  • Contact form

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/p32929/portfolio-v2
cd portfolio-v2
npm install
npm start
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Edit the config files and you've got your own portfolio in under 5 minutes.

Why Open Source?

Every developer deserves a good portfolio. Not everyone has time to build one from scratch. If this saves you a weekend of work, give it a ⭐ on GitHub.
