Portable… for Windows? It’s a .Net application using Windows Forms. That’s open sourced, and thus portable in theory. In practice, it’s Windows only.

Turns out they use a different meaning of “portable”:

”Open source version of Ylva is available as a single binary file which is portable by default. You can run it from a USB stick.”

In the world of Windows applications, portable means that the program can be run without any installation or storing anything locally. So you could run it off a usb or other portable storage. This is a common usage.
