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

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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 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.

Some people go out and do, other people talk about it.

And I wasn't aware that anybody owned the space.

Good for you.

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 li…

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.

Thanks for taking it on board :). Two more:

- The slider for draft/live seems counter-intuitive to me, clicking on draft makes it live and vice versa.

- I was about to suggest the ability to add font awesome icons but I see it's already there! How about advertising this feature on the editor page somewhere? Or adding a menu for placing icons tags like in quickly?

Saying that, the design works so well because it is so simple and fast.

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...

Sorry to point this out, but you sound more like a recruiter than a designer. I'm sure people would answer your questions if you would ask them a little bit less bluntly.

My answers to your questions are: 1. I showcase the projects I've been working on 2. I don't describe the projects, just point a link to them, they should describe themselves (README, code comments, etc.) 3. Someone very skilled to make them good money with little hassle
