I Built My Portfolio as a macOS App Instead of a Website

Built my portfolio as a macOS app. Not a website. An actual native macOS app using SwiftUI.

Most devs make a portfolio site with React or Next.js. I wanted something different. So I made it feel like opening an app on your Mac. Window controls. Sidebar navigation. The whole thing.

brutalharsh.me is where it lives. You can check out my projects, my work history, and what I am building right now. All wrapped in a clean macOS style interface.

SwiftUI made this surprisingly easy. The whole thing is a few hundred lines of Swift. No web server. No database. Just a static site hosted for free.

People ask me why not just use a normal website. Because I could. And it stands out. Every freelancer has a Linktree. How many have a macOS app as their portfolio?
