I see a few great suggestions from people here, but I want to add — I see the grand vision here. This is a great "First-step" in this direction. I feel it's great because it does away with the shitty "sign-in-with-github-and-youre-done" thing. Comprehensive, yet minimal. I like it.

#12You need a better differentiation between skills - this is very web orientated at the moment. If I'm a native mobile developer is that full stack? Backend? There also needs to be a bigger range of languages. Alternative contact details would be nice, or, links to other profiles and the option not to show the email address.
Yeah, one of the most common requests I've gotten is adding more languages/frameworks, and I'm working on getting that out as soon as possible. It is very front-end dev focused at the moment, so I'll be broadening the options to give all developers what they're looking for. Thanks for checking it out!

I think the request was to add other options besides Front/Back/Full.

#15I... can't change my password. Nice and clean look though!
Re: Show HN: Pocketsquare – portfolios for developers
#16I don't see how the snippets bring value to the portfolio, can't imagine a use case.
Anyway good initiative!

Sorry about that - it's at the top of my list!

Snippets provide a way to showcase concise bits of code or programs. I think of it as a place to centralize jsfiddles that emphasize specific interactions or examples of some particular software concept or architecture.

Yep, and that's very nice/useful for a blog post, but it feels weird in a portfolio. It's like "hey, I'm XX, those are my strong skills, and check this neat piece of code".

#2015-20 language/framework icons don't tell me much, despite telling me too much. what's the estimated level of expertise? I don't believe someone who shows that many different things is a master at any of them (whether they are or not, I don't believe it). grouping those icons - data, web, language, etc - might help as well.
