I got tired of every dev portfolio looking the same, so I built one styled like a terminal

Every portfolio template I found was either a generic "hero + cards" layout or way too flashy for something that's supposed to show my work, not distract from it.

So I built one from scratch — single HTML file, no framework, no build step. The whole thing leans into things developers already know: a terminal window in the hero, projects laid out like a file tree, experience styled like a git log.

It's fully responsive, has 3 built-in color themes, and every editable spot in the code is clearly marked — swap in your name/projects/links and deploy anywhere (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, your own host).

Selling it here if you want to skip building your own: (I'll post the link)

Happy to answer questions about how it's built, or take feedback if you try it out.
