πŸš€ Just Launched: portfolio.dev β€” A Better Way to Show Off Your Work πŸ“πŸ’‘

Hey Dev Community! πŸ‘‹

I'm super excited to introduce portfolio.dev β€” a platform built for developers πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’», designers 🎨, and product managers πŸ“‹ to showcase their work in a clean, visual, and meaningful way.


🎯 The Problem

Let’s be honest β€” there’s no great way to show off your work as a dev / engineer or builder:

  • GitHub is just code. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»
  • LinkedIn is too text-heavy. πŸ“„
  • Dribbble/Behance? Mostly for visual design. 🎨

But what about those of us who want to share projects, explain our thinking, and present our work with context?

That’s why I built portfolio.dev β€” to fill that gap.


πŸ’‘ What It Does

portfolio.dev is a simple, beautiful platform that helps you:

  • 🌐 Get a professional portfolio URL: portfolio.dev/u/yourname
  • πŸ“ Add multiple projects with screenshots, context, and thought process
  • 🧠 Share not just what you built, but why you built it and how it works
  • πŸ“Š (Pro) Unlock advanced analytics & unlimited project slots
  • πŸ“¬ Use it on your rΓ©sumΓ©, LinkedIn, or anywhere else clients and hiring managers look

πŸ™‹ Who It’s For

Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned pro:

  • βœ… Developers who want to go beyond code
  • βœ… Designers who want a structured, case-study style layout
  • βœ… PMs & freelancers who want to explain their impact

πŸ’Έ Pricing

  • πŸ†“ Free forever for a simple, beautiful portfolio
  • πŸ’Ž Pro: $5/month or $50/year (US payments only for now) β†’ Includes unlimited projects, analytics, and priority support

πŸ™Œ Try It Out & Share Feedback!

πŸ‘‰ Check it out here

This is just the beginning. I’d love your thoughts:

  • What features would help you showcase your work better?
  • What's confusing or missing?
  • Would this help you stand out in a sea of GitHub links?

Thanks for reading β€” and for supporting indie dev tools πŸ’™

Clean and Fast UI. one question.

How does these two differ?
also commas can't be removed and last comma makes an empty badge.

Yeah, there’s definitely some overlap β€” it really depends on how you used the tool or tech in the project! I separate things a bit just to give people flexibility: β€˜technologies’ is a broader term that could apply to anything powering the project, while β€˜engineering tools,’ β€˜design tools,’ and β€˜PM tools’ highlight specific roles or workflows. But ultimately, use what feels right for your role in the project.

I will also take note that the last comma makes an empty badge! Thanks.

Love that you're tackling this! Would be cool if it also let me embed live demos right alongside the project breakdowns - any plans for that?

That’s the intention! If your project includes a hosted web app or site, viewers can check out the live demo directly.
