A bunch of UX feedback/issues:

- after signing in/up, there is no link on any page that actually links you to your portfolio.

- The welcome page is a waste of space right now. It only has a link to give you feedback, while providing the user no useful information.

- If you're making me sign in with github, the projects section shouldn't be empty. It should pull from my github

- Under Theme, I understand it's probably more work than it's worth right now to preview the themes for a weekend project - but the link out to bootswatch should at least go to the preview so I know what I'm choosing: http://bootswatch.com/#gallery

Great work, thanks for sharing this.

Feedback -

- I'm a fool and was looking around for somewhere to click to go through to my site - what about a small link somewhere around http://d.jdkram.net/W7nY? Or maybe a second button the "Welcome" tab.

- Hovering over all of the entry titles in 'Account' (Facebook, Google+ etc.) switches the cursor to a hand. Apologies if this is intentional.

- It would be nice to have a little explanation regarding what you're asking for in the box: something like http://d.jdkram.net/4GEL would help keep the look clean and let you explain where to get the info you're asking for. Alternatively continue with your current norm and use greyed out text within the boxes saying "e.g. 107633175658115732197".

Thanks for your feedback!

- This has just been added. - The text was ment to be a label for the input box. I'll fix that. - Yeah, there's a lot of explaination and help texts missing. I'll add this when I got more time this week.

- That has been added - Yep, indeed. I'll think about what's best in this place. - That's what I initially planned and that's going to come for sure :-D - Great idea, thanks!

I don't know how to react, but at least I want to say this: the name and the layout remind me a little too much about http://www.prtfl.io/muellerwolfram/projects I'm not sure what to say, I mean, it's a free web, you can do whatever you want, but it leaves a bitter aftertaste, especially because i know that you knew about prtfl.io

Yep, you're right. I was curious about your project but as it hasn't launched yet and I wanted to make something on this weekend, that's what happened. I don't see a problem here to be honest. ;)

"that's what happened"

It didn't just happen - seems like you have intentionally copied someone else's idea, down to naming and design. You're obviously entitled to do so, but it's not something I would run bragging about on hn, especially without giving any credit the original work.

And saying "I don't see a problem here" after the original creator has pointed (quite gently) to the fact, is not very empathetic of you.
