22s Pocket Portfolio

Hey DEV! 👋

I’m building Pocket Portfolio, a tiny open-source, privacy-first portfolio tracker. No brokerage link—just add trades (or CSV), see live prices/P/L, and a clean UI. I’m here to learn from this community and level-up on accessibility, service-worker/PWA patterns, and secure CSPs on Vercel + Firebase.

If you’ve got 5–7 mins, I’d love feedback from devs/designers:

App: pocketportfolio.app/app/

Repo (MIT): github.com/PocketPortfolio/Financi...

Happy to credit helpful testers in the README.
Fun fact: I still love spreadsheets…but I’m trying to make this nicer than one 😄

👋 Hey everyone! I'm Abraham from Munich!I'm a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS and the creator behind MyITBasics.com.

Currently balancing my AWS job with pursuing a Master's in Computer Science (ML) at University of Illinois.I love diving deep into authentication architecture, container orchestration, and ML deployment patterns.

My goal with MyITBasics is creating comprehensive technical guides that bridge academic theory with real-world implementation - the kind of content you actually bookmark and return to!

Fun fact: can code-switch between English, Spanish, and German depending on which stack overflow thread I'm reading! 😅

Looking forward to learning from this amazing community and sharing insights from building enterprise systems.

pocketportfolio profile image
22s Pocket Portfolio

Hey Al-Hossain—welcome! You don’t need math wizardry to start programming. Here’s a simple path we use with new folks:

  1. Pick a lane (to avoid overwhelm): web (HTML/CSS/JavaScript), mobile, or data.
  2. Foundations (2–3 weeks): variables → functions → arrays/objects → loops → DOM. Practice daily with 20–30 min exercises.
  3. Tiny projects: rebuild a button, a form, then a mini “positions list” (like a Pocket Portfolio card).
  4. Level up: read others’ code, open a “good first issue,” and ask questions in #help-desk.

One question to get you moving: Which lane do you want first—web, mobile, or data?

sunyifu

Hey everyone, I’m an indie developer excited to join this community.
My background is mostly backend (Java), but recently I’ve been diving into frontend with Next.js, React, and Tailwind, and also exploring AI-related projects.

Here on dev.to, I’d love to:

  • Share what I learn while building things solo
  • Document technical challenges and lessons
  • Connect with other makers and developers

Looking forward to learning and sharing with you all 🚀

Collapse
 
pocketportfolio profile image
22s Pocket Portfolio

Welcome! Love that backend→Next.js/Tailwind arc — perfect fit for what we’re building.

Here are 3 bite-size ways you can jump in today:

Frontend polish (React/TW): keyboard nav + a11y on the portfolio list, or tidy the P/L card layout.

Data pipeline: add a new CSV mapping (we’ll give you a tiny sample + acceptance checks).

AI-ish/UX copy: draft a simple “explain this P/L” insight (rule-based first pass) and wire it to the card.

How to start (20 mins):

⭐ Star the repo → run pnpm i && pnpm dev.

Comment /claim on any good first issue and we’ll assign + guide.

Join Discord › #welcome-and-rules — we host Office Hours (Wed) and Demo Friday for quick pair sessions.

Also, if you want to “build in public,” we’ll feature your write-ups under our Dev.to series—great way to document challenges and connect with makers.
