A few week ago 2 people asked me the same question on Twitter: "how do I make a better portfolio?"
Since, it's not the first time I have this quest...

I worked my "readme" to have a more elaborated explanation of my tech stack and what i am learning over time. I think using icons makes more attracive and easy to understand to any visitor.
Also I am focusing on learn a single stack (Angular/React > Node > Mongo) and expand it little by little with techs like you mentioned before.
My best advice at this point is try to create a tool that you can analyze by yourself and create an ecosystem with open projects to keep tracking of your progress. In my case i made:
Making this way (I know it could be a complex way) can be worked by small but constant steps and so create a good tool which has a clear background to anyown who wants to know more.
Hey Nicolas,
if you have 2 frameworks, I'd not call it a single stack 😛
Simple question: why do you use angular and react for the same app? One should be enough? You can reduce the number of pinned repo to keep focus in your fav repos. The most polished ones.
also, the link to the app seems to be empty ? mybudget-api.herokuapp.com
About the main readme, I feel overwhelmed by icons :D
I'd remove the most obvious ones. If you use React, I guess you also know/use HTML, CSS, JS...
Hey Maxence! Thanks for the comments.
You have a point about the "single stack", i used that term because i was trying to simplify it, but I think I was wrong hahaha.
About your question, i am currently working in angular at work, so I can have a better version while I am building the API, but I worked with React before and I want to make a version using the same API to have both examples working. I know my react version doesn't have much work so far, but i will go for it after i get done my first 0.x version on the API.
About the empty app, it is because that version it is in a very early stage. I wanted to have a "stable" pipeline working and then mantain it in that way until I reach the first 0.x version.
At last, I understand that you can be overwhelmed with the icons, I wanted to make a more visible approach using the icons in that way. But i will keep in mind to remove the obvious ones.
I appreciate a lot your reply, any other idea you have is welcome. There is always room for improvement.
it was just some thoughts as if I was thinking loudly.
but it's your page, your projects. So keep doing what you think it's the best ;)
i follow most of these ideas and really like the idea of using issues / tickets for your TODO's. i tried it with one project and am comparing with another project using a TODO plugin so it's in the codebase. unsure which i prefer yet!

Awesome! 👏
Thanks Musa :)
Mine here github.com/jozefchmelar -- feedback appreciated 😊
In a nutshell: "quality over quantity".
You have 6 pinned repos. Why you don't only have one or two? Most of them have less than 10 commits. Take one and polish it, like you did in the "Tornado" repo have a great Readme 👍
Btw, you said this:
You should. Saying "no" is not necessarily a bad thing. If it's reasoned, it's a good thing.
Same for "That I'm ashamed of". I don't think you should add it. Mostly the last point. Don't undervalue yourself :)
Thank you Maxence!
I want to say that amble to say no even though it's an authority, like a boss.
This "shaming" is there to point out that everyone, including me has its flaws and I'm not perfect, i'm just a human :)
You're right about the last one though. I'll remove it
oh I get your point. Self-mockery shows you don't have a big ego... which is good :)
