Give your feedback on my updated Portfolio šŸ‘‹

Shrijal Acharya on January 05, 2025

For the last few years, I've been using an older portfolio I built with React. It did the job, but when I built new projects, I had to manually add...

Great work Shrijal! šŸ”„

I really loved the filter feature in the projects section (it's hard to find sometimes). Everything is concise and it gives a really nice look. Iā€™m also building my portfolio (v1) and am really excited to share it.

Glad you loved it, buddy! I took some inspiration for the hero section from yours, as I was running out of design ideas for it.

You have a lovely portfolio. šŸ‘Œ

Performance wise, the react one, was good too, but nextjs killed it. I don't ever get these

I've worked a bit on the site's SEO and metadata this time. ;)

This time, I've automated pretty much everything. I used GitHub Actions with the GitHub API to fetch a selected list of my projects

What do you mean by this? How do you fetch a selected list of projects through GitHub Actions? The portfolio looks super minimal and to the point. Kudos! šŸ‘šŸ»

@larastewart_engdev, when fetching projects from GitHub Actions, I make sure to fetch only repositories that match certain criteria.

I have a write-up coming this week where Iā€™ll cover exactly this topic: 'How to Sync Your Portfolio with GitHub Repositories.'

Very nice! clean and informational.

If you plan on using this for recruitment purposes, a recruiter, usually just skims. So you have to somehow put your core competencies above the fold.

Example: "I'm a full-stack developer and DevOps engineer with 10+ years of experience in Django, Laravel, and .Net". Something like that or just have some visual blocks that highlight some of the main technologies you are competent in.

Yeah, that seems to be missing. Thank you for this great suggestion, @kwnaidoo. I will make sure to include it in the next commit.

Love it!
Compared to the old one, I like how the view is more simple and not as wide. It makes it easier to read and follow. Great job!

Appreciate it, @best_codes! Ditched the wide screen for that very reason. šŸ™Œ

If you are looking for the source code, I will share it once I finish everything, probably in a week or two.

I like it a LOT! I think using the CSS transition feature for some of the hover animations would be great. I also have found that using transitions when changing the theme makes it feel less aggressive when changing the theme.

Overall it is a wonderful site!

Appreciate your words, buddy! I especially like the idea of adding a transition on theme change and will plan to implement it.

Don't focus inputs on page load. Annoying when it opens keyboard on mobile when i don't want.

@edgarslv Oh, I completely overlooked that. Thanks for pointing it out. šŸ‘ I'll remove the autofocus on mobile devices.
