I'm not a developer but a designer. What do developers showcase in their portfolio? How do you describe the projects you've worked on? What is a recruiter looking for when visiting your website?

A developers profile these days is mostly just github. Works very well for those of us that contribute back to open source but not too sure how someone who doesn't contribute to os stuff would show a portfolio...

A portfolio can also consist of project writeups/screenshots and/or links to live sites.

i feel its better to build you own, if its your personal website, and you're a developer. this seems like the easy, lazy way out and shows that you don't have time to make a custom site for yourself to show off your talents.

i can see this idea being used for other professions, but if you're a dev, then i feel your website is a free pass to show off your true skills, creativity..

either way, great job.. keep developing

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

Let me quote movie-zuckerberg here:

"You know, you really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook."

Execution, dear Wolfram, is the single-most important thing in our industry today. I personally have a shit ton of things I'm thinking about or that I might want to do some time. All worthless, until someone executes on them. Timo executed on this idea this weekend and the outcome is extraordinary, given the invested time. It shows that he is a very talented guy.

Well here is the nice thing: Just build something that is better and people will use it. It is that easy.

Look at it this way: You now have a fire lit under your ass to finish and launch it.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

prtfl.io is much more polished—it shows that it wasn't built in a weekend. Please launch soon! After looking at prtflio.eu, I wouldn't worry too much about brand dilution—it's not even in your league.

Hey, I get your point, but you can't compare something that isn't launched to something that is.

How many times does Paul Graham have to say "just launch"? Launch and iterate, iterate and then iterate some more. Talking about brand dilution on an unlaunched product is a moot point to say the least.

I'm not taking sides about what happened here, it seems murky at best, but you can't compare an idea to a product.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"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 yo…

Well, I never indented to offend him or anyone else. I'm waiting for his app to launch and when it's great I'm gonna use it, that's it. But for the meantime, I build my own thing and as I mostly do, I set it free to others.

May very well be, but you sure could've choosen at least a different name. And a design of your own wouldn't have hurt.

It's a different misspelling of Portfolio, a dictionary word descriptive of what it is. I see no issues here.
