I do not waste anyone's time, it is very absurd to say
I don't see how you can possibly read my comment that way, but just to clarify: I am talking about the websites you presented having some very lengthy animations before any content is shown. If I click on a website and see something like that, chances are, I'll just close it again and look at the next one. That's the last thing you want to happen to a portfolio, ergo the recommendation to not copy that.
But this does not mean that it is not worthy of attention.
And I never said that. All of these portfolios are definitely very well-done overall; that does not mean I cannot point out their obvious flaws, nor will I waste time prepending every criticism with a disclaimer that "but this is not to invalidate the thing as a whole".
and the hidden mouse cursor, which is replaced by a circle, is exactly a good design idea
Whether it's a good design idea is debateable, but that's not my point. Design is subjective, so even if the cursor was replaced with an animated GIF of a glittering heart I wouldn't say it's bad, only that I find it tasteless. My point is that hiding the cursor altogether (for me it took a good number of seconds before the circle appeared) is very distracting and confusing, specially on a multi-screen setup when your first instinct is to figure out where the cursor is before you realise it's just gone.
I expected to see high-quality design solutions
Oh wow, you were set up for disappointment from the start then. That website is trash, I have no problem in admitting that. I built it years ago and the whole front-end is really more of an after-thought to the backend which I was mostly playing around with at the time (and is also garbage, for a variety of other reasons).
That being said, I also never put my website in a list of exemplary portfolios (it's not even a portfolio in the first place), so I don't see why I would need to have a remarkable website :D
Well, as for your site, it can in any case be described as a portfolio, because it contains information about you. All the more reason I should have known that it had been made long ago.
As for the lengthy animation, I take it you mean the Gif animations that are under the title? If so, I inserted them specifically for the convenience of readers, especially those who will read the article from the phone.
Regarding the mouse cursor, here we have different tastes. I'm not a fan of circles instead of the cursor, but in my opinion in the fifth portfolio the cursor was well implemented. Again, I repeat. There are no friends for the taste and color.
You see, some of these sites contain a considerable amount of graphic content. That is why there are preloaders, so that the person who goes to the site does not observe the slow loading of elements. That's all. Many of these animated preloaders are there for a reason. Moreover, they serve as a banner to represent your logo or brand. Well, it's just beautiful. Moreover, there is no problem to wait a couple of seconds until the animation ends. For simple information, there are social media profiles.
