Re: Ask HN: What are the best personal project websites you've seen?
#152I am a graduate student with similar goals (though already have a job) Here is my site: http://www.akshaybhat.com I optimized it for following: 0. Responsive 1. Easy to understand layout 2. Images to highlight projects 3. A professional picture. 4. Contact & email information. Don't bother fighting email collecting bots, they already have billions of them due to breaches and most likely yours if it appears on Have I…

#153I'm posting my own too:
It's an auto updated portfolio with my github, dribbble, and some other social networks.

#154Like many of before me, I'll share my own website (currently in redesign, so I'll provide links via internet archive) - built in Nanoc3, hosted on github pages: Main page: https://web.archive.org/web/20150801213611/http://lukaszkups...

#156I'll share mine: http://cabada.mx
It's a grid of all the "cool" personal projects I've made since I started coding.

#157I really dislike mine. Don't use it. I am not a web designer. http://www.jaruzel.com/
This looks decent

#158https://acko.net A jaw-dropping website by Steven Wittens that pushes the boundaries of what your browser can do. Nothing I've seen has ever topped this wizardry. (You should view it on desktop, with WebGL capability.)
If I saw this linked from a resume, I'd throw the resume out. The projects are impressive and I haven't spent enough time with the essays to evaluate their technical merits, but the anti-harassment-policy rant is like a giant, blinking "DO NOT HIRE ME" sign. I wouldn't want this guy anywhere near my team.
Yes, yes, yes, it's always the same. Misrepresent well-cited arguments as rants, shoo people away with vague insinuations, and discredit the author from afar. All in the name of the "safety" and "diversity" of a narrow and pampered demographic. It's a tired old playbook.
In the 3 years since I published it, the heads-on-pikes brigade hasn't slowed down, with Crockford being the latest target of a sanctioned witch hunt on the elusive cis white man, based on purely misquoted, imaginary offense. It failed spectacularly with LambdaConf, where people with actual jobs raised a handy $40+k to allow a programming conference to remain politically neutral in the face of a very loud and entitled minority.
So don't worry, you won't see my resume. Outside of the bubble of west coast web tech, there's a whole industry where people with real skills are never out of a job.

#159First the master: http://worrydream.com/ Surprised nobody's posted it yet. Other people are also posting their own, so here's mine: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/ Other job-hunt-specific efforts: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/portfolio/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/resume/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/games/ Can't be totally sure but I believe they've gotten me a job or two.
http://worrydream.com was a horrible experience for me. Between the extremely slow scroll-hijacking and disabling of my vim-based scroll events it was a nightmare to try to navigate and I gave up without actually viewing any of the projects. Even using my colleagues hyper scroll wheel gave us a brief chuckle before quitting the page entirely.
Funny enough my first experience with worrydream was without JS, as with most new websites. And it's much better then.

These sites have set the standard of beautiful personal website for me. Despite their modern appearances, they're both just static sites, generated with bash: https://github.com/Jack000/Expose
