Hey all, I'm Jack, the creator of portfolo.app!

I decided to make this app because I recently started picking up some freelance work and realized my work was a big mess. I needed a nice blog site to post my write-ups and my Git repos.

I couldn't find a portfolio builder that made it easy and wasn't bloated and over customisable. Making my own was also wasting time when all I wanted to do was post my work and show it to potential clients! I hope anyone who is in the same boat as me gains the same benefits I have.

Please make sure to leave me any feedback, as I want to shape portfolo.app according to what the users want!

Thanks, Jack

Hey Im Jack! Im the creator of boilermate.site I just wanted to add some context to the creation of this app! I have always loved the use of boilerplates when it comes to programming, it saves all that headache of the setup and gets you right into action, but there wasn't really a nice place to find boilerplates that are cool and trending! boilermate.site was created with Sveltekit and mongoDB using mongoose. This was the first time using mongoose and i wasn't too keen on it. I wrote all of the auth and logic myself for this and i will be honest the code is bloody awful.. as i really underestimated the amount of work needed to get this up... (guest authentication...). I think i will stick to using lucia-auth and postgres... Any questions or something which is god awful let me know! Thanks, Jack Sansom
