Ask HN: What are some great personal blogs/portfolios? • Hacker News Board

And I use my personal site (https://www.mdolon.com/) for sharing projects and writing, the design is based on a free Jekyll theme that I've customized. You're welcome to build on it if you'd like: https://github.com/mdolon/mdolon.github.io/

I'm on the same boat, here are some UX Designers portfolios that I found interesting and bookmarked. Even if it's a different profession, you may find inspiration there: http://jaredgranger.com/ https://danielkorpai.com/#work https://katiemacoy.com https://www.vanschneider.com https://heyshawn.co

I burst out laughing while reflecting on how good the Tobias van Schneider design is. The use of typography is absolutely marvelous. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know if his site is getting a hug of death but it took almost 50sec (16sec DOMContentLoaded) to be completely finished loading. It's a beautiful site though.

I'm uploading my mind into my wiki, and so, of course, I like my wiki in general.

I highly recommend Nayuki's site: https://www.nayuki.io/

Lots of content (made mostly for themselves), but the writing style is pretty nice and there's a large variety of projects.

If self-promotion is allowed in this context, I'd like to suggest my own website as a good example: https://barrowclift.me

I love it. My minimalistic blog is build using pandoc. Would it bother you if I plagiarized your blog styles.

At the risk of sounding pompous. I really like my portfolio site: [link redacted] Why? I built it for myself. Not for what I thought recruiters/employers wanted to see. I simply wanted a place to collect some of the projects I work on. And more importantly one that captured my personality a bit. It's not perfect, I look at it and see a ton things I'd refactor. But it get's people to laugh or start a conversation abou…

Bro it's so amazing and unexpected. Great work and creativity.
