Thanks Mathias for the kind words and great feedback!
Yeah, I'm not in any rush to try to monetize it. My main goal was just to try to make something useful to a lot of people, get some practice at marketing and promotion, and have a nice portfolio piece for myself as you say.
On your feedback:
- I definitely agree about skills and capitalization patterns. I wanted to encourage a more humanized and 'formal' looking approach vs. something like all lowercase or the stack overflow hyphenated approach, but it's impossible to come up with a general rule that covers every convention. I may start manually specifying some of the common ones--will have to think about it a bit more.
- Agree about there being better ways to display the images when the project is expanded. When collapsed is trickier--I fiddled with it a lot and it's hard to have everything looking smooth and uniform without cropping since you can have images with such radically different dimensions. Did you realize you can click the image to zoom in to a full screen view? I may have to make that more obvious.
- Also agree about the crowding of the skills. I've been pondering how to best handle this while keeping it simple.
- On titles, I'll probably start to open those up soon as I've also been getting some interest from visual artists, photographers, and other folks. I wanted to begin with a focused niche, but I don't see much reason to exclude people who would find it useful since the platform could work just as well for them.
- Yeah, I'm a bit wary about badges, milestones, and the like, since I really want to preserve the minimalist approach, but I'll keep an open mind :)
I appreciate your offer to help and I'd be happy to keep in touch.
