Show HN: I made a dev portfolio builder to help developers have a nice portfolio

from the show-hn dept.

https://dev.scoutt.it

Every time I've asked dev friends to send me their portfolio, they've sent me a GitHub repo.

Sometimes it's a website that I don't really want to read because it's either incomprehensible if you don’t use their stack or just a big paragraph as if it were a biography.

So, I built a developer portfolio builder that matches what non-techies like recruiters, managers and HR people could want to see when they open a portfolio.

That means: short sentences, nice images, bullet points.

The application is built in Flutter.

I'd like to have your opinion on the concept.

Congratulations on shipping this. But I fear you'll find devs a hard market to sell to. Even $55 for a lifetime is near the "screw it I'll just build it myself" threshold.

Also seems like you're taunting them into building themselves:

  If (you're a creative developer) {
    return "Build your own portfolio website";
  }
  else {
    return “Claim your Scoutt.it page” ;
  }
