I built a terminal-like portfolio with Vue 3

Hey guys, I'm Sam Zhang. Edit: since a lot of you are commenting about it, I would like to mention one thing though that this "portfolio" is just ...

Hello,

You advertise yourself as a 13 year old freelance from china.

I'd like to remind you that even in china legal labour age is 16. Not 13.

I have no way to know why you are doing it. Maybe your familly is really poor. I'm from western culture where child work is seen as exploitation.

But if your familly is not in absolute need for money, give yourself a break. You'll work for real soon enough.

Hey there. Well actually this is just for fun as a project for exploring Vue 3 and not really looking for work xD. I only work on some open source projects!

Please, don't to take it as a rude comment. I'm only doing it to protect you from being exploited even if you are ok with it.

I'd like to remind you that Freelance means working for pay. And doing portfolio means you want to advertise yourself to land a Job or make yourself known to potential clients.
You don't need those if you're 13 year old.

Enjoy your young age, don't fall in work too young, preserve yourself.

Haha that's fine... Then I think I might have some misunderstanding in those words when writing this article. I'm not a big fan of working currently lol.

And thanks indeed! Have a good day!

Shhhsh, sorry man, you're not from a third world country.

Many people work in his 13, and that's ok, family is no always supportive, or rich, sometimes, we have to sacrifice a little for a brighter Future for our brothers and sisters.

This is unique. I love it. I read a comment saying you're 13 and if that's true, keep it up my friend. The world needs outside of the box thinkers and developers. Don't let anyone hold you back even if others tell you your ideas are insane. The only thing that's insane is not doing what your heart tells you.

Well, I think it's not so cool, because anyone needs to see help, then to type ls and then cat welcome.md to know more about you.
So, my opinion is that it is a little complicated to browse the website

I would agree with you in a real world application. This one is made just for fun however and the ease of use is not my primary goal. Instead I'm just using this project to try out some cool features! Thanks anyway!

It's cool to allow it as a second option but not the primary portfolio.

Yes I would agree with you if to use it in the real world. But actually this one is just made for fun to try out Vue 3 and some other cool stuff. Thanks though!

Would be great to add autocompletion to the terminal you have.
Current UI is completely geek-oriented, so I would think of making it feel more natural to a real CLI

Few issues:

  • You have normal input element and it's really hard to focus if you click away.
  • no tab completion, pressing tab and you get focus in downloaded file.
